Balade les jeudis des villages - Domino
Dates & opening times
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. Following the narrow, winding layout of the old streets, we pass by the "Maisons Bloc" or "Maisons à chambre haute", some of which are very small, with each floor or room having its own access, such as the "souillarde", the outdoor kitchen.
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.
