The paver was discovered tucked away in the gatekeeper’s shed, coated with a thin layer of dust but unmistakably resilient. Laid at the chateau’s entrance in the early 1900s, it bore witness to decades of footsteps. Its surface, worn smooth in places, still holds the faint marks of carriage wheels and leather soles, each impression a memory from a time when the estate was alive with activity and passing visitors.

A tale so magical, we barely believe it. The story of this collection begins in the heart of Aix-en-Provence, where whispers led us to an extraordinary discovery—a resting place for the remnants of chateaus long forgotten. This ‘graveyard’ was unlike anything Sylvie had ever encountered.

Amidst the ruins, each piece seemed to carry the echoes of noble homes, some felled by earthquakes, others abandoned and left to time. It was a place of lost grandeur, where fragments of history lay waiting. Sylvie handpicked her favorites from these forgotten treasures, breathing new life into each one, and sometimes, a new purpose. This collection is a revival of French history, offering pieces once thought lost to time.
