A few pictures of the barn due for renovation into two gites. The permis de construire has been applied for and the decision is due on the 27 July 2004. As you can see quite a lot of work, but it won't start until at least October as the local French tradesmen are so busy, and we don't want to disturb any of our existing guests.
The building is split over 2 floors with each gite occupying approximately half each. The left hand gite will have the kitchen in the portion on the side. Currently a slate roof over traditional Breton stone walls.
A shot of the inside showing the oak beams and exposed stonework. Most of these features we hope to retain to add to the character of each gite. The blue tarpaulin is just there to stop the swallows nesting directly over the car and excreting on the roof.
A portion of the architects plans submitted as part of the permis de construire showing the new lucarne windows upstairs and the two doors and three windows downstairs at the front of each gite.
