Balade les jeudis des villages - Domino

Description

In the village of "Domina", the Mistress, the Madonna, it all begins at the "Villa Fleur de thé": like many of our town's fine homes, this delicately crafted edifice bears witness to the overseas commercial prosperity of enterprising Saint-Georgeais.

The oldest house in the village is tiny, with a staircase whose railing has been added: originally, it had no railing to protect it from night-time intruders. After a flower-filled square where a chair has been placed under a small palm tree, let's discover the famous "Maisonnette des trois Ours", with its tightly interwoven housing modules,

Corine quotes Noël Escudier, whose architectural eye invites us to discover a unique heritage of remarkable housing.
