[Visite guidée] Les matériaux qui font la ville

Lime, brick, flint, wood or concrete, sandstone, wrought iron: why do we choose certain materials over others?
Economic constraints, fashions, uses and availability are just some of the reasons.
From the lush beech forests of Arques and Eawy, which provided the framework for the half-timbered houses of the medieval town, to the prefabricated concrete panels of the post-World War II era, from the huge hot-oven kilns erected in 1695 to the glass paving stones favoured by modernist architecture, come and discover the history of the materials that have shaped the town of Dieppe.
