From cathedrals to private mansions, from cloisters to listed façades, historic monuments are the speciality of the exhibitors gathered at the fair. Restoration, maintenance, opening doors and windows, pest control: they cover the entire life cycle of a monument. Stonemasons, metalworkers, gilders, restorers: their exceptional work is well worth discovering.
