HUBERT GARDERE ARTISAN DE LA PIERRE
If you'd like to see his workshop, please phone before dropping in. Hubert Gardere is a stonemason. This craftsman carries out customized work for his customers. He creates frames with engravings, sculptures, coats-of-arms, exterior fountains, aged worktops, exterior and interior staircases, dry-stone walls and stone wall cladding. He creates and renovates old buildings and calvaries. The stones he works with come from France and Navarre. His work can take from two weeks for a simple cladding job to several months for a larger project. The work is carried out from A to Z, from design to molding to installation. Let's take a look back at the life of this craftsman. After completing his training as a stonemason in Bordeaux, Hubert Gardere spent seven years working in Paris. He worked on a number of remarkable sites in France: the Louvre, the Panthéon, the Invalides, the Château Lery, the Basilique Saint-Denis, the Senate, the Château de Versailles, the Maison Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise, then in Switzerland, in Berne and at the Beyeler Museum in Basel. Prestigious references. In 2004, he decided to set up his own business. He works with young apprentices, and every Saturday afternoon gives two-hour sculpture and stone-cutting lessons for young people and adults. If I dared to use a different expression, I'd say that "our craftsmen have talent". This gentleman in particular!
