Who are we?

Our history

Léonard Sanchez was born in the Luberon in Roussillon, a remarkable village that is renowned worldwide for its natural ochres. From an early age, he immersed himself in the surrounding environment, observing, exploring and absorbing the characteristics of its rich Provençal heritage and unique architecture.

He participated from a young age in the family renovation business and learnt how to work with dry stone and natural materials like white lime and river sand.

Passionate about his work, he officially joined the company after completing his studies in 1988 and re-shaped the business in 1997.

With over 30 years’ experience, Léonard has benefitted from the advice of eminent architects, decorators and landscape gardeners and delivers top-of-the-range projects by ensuring that he is surrounded by the highest-skilled craftsmen.
A trusted professional and excellent communicator, he now delivers large-scale projects for an international clientele. He has been involved in the renovation, transformation and creation of farmhouses, country houses, villas, gardens, rustic properties and hotels and is always open to learning about new architectural projects.
The company is based in Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt in the Luberon, close to the picture-postcard villages of Bonnieux, Lacoste, Goult, Gordes, Murs, Saignon and others.
