The year 2025 begins at the Madeleine cloister with its share of work projects, especially on the side of the forecourt we share with the church of the Madeleine. This is how the old staircase looked with its plaster stripped in mid-February to allow with the Bâtiments de France to advise on the total renovation of the staircase and terrace that will take place in September.
The removing of the concrete covering at mid-February
In May will begin the restoration of the wall that runs along the church of Sainte Madeleine des Apostles to be fully rehabilitated by AGAME masonry, a local company (Réalmont). The plan is to remove out the old bric and the remains of old plaster and to reveal the changes and the makeshift repairs that have occurred in that wall. All of this work happens in accordance with the recommendations of the architect of the Bâtiments de France, with a particular requirement on the color of the joints.
