Family businesses such as PIERRENOEL and Le Bras Frères will participate in the reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris!

The skill of French craftsmen has been passed on from generation to generation thanks, among other things, to family businesses. According to Régis Penneçot, a descendant of a line of woodworkers at the head of a ninth-generation family business and national coordinator of Chambres de métiers et de l’artisanat of Chantiers de France, this know-how is disappearing and essential when reconstructing or restoring historic monuments. Thus, a year after the Notre-Dame de Paris fire, several family SMEs and their craftsmen put their unique skill to use in order to rebuild the monument by combining old practices and very recent innovations. This is the case, among others, for family-owned SMEs PIERRENOEL and Le Bras Frères. Founded in 1844, the PIERRENOEL company, which makes companionship a state of mind, specializes in extraordinary masonry. Founded in 1954, the family-owned SME Le Bras Frères, specialized in carpentry and roofing, is a benchmark in terms of heritage restoration, combining tradition and modernity.
