The Heritage Days
Presentation, by Didier Repellin, on 19/09/2020 during Heritage Day, of the launch of the consolidation and restoration work on the western façade of the Abbey of St Antoine.
Built to house the relics of St. Anthony, the abbey is one of the most remarkable Gothic achievements of the Dauphiné. The western façade, built in molasse stone, is deeply degraded: weathering of the facings and carvings as a result of the ageing of the stone, black sliders, invasive vegetation.
