Who is protecting our heritage?

We live in a village that is about 500 years old, and as such it is a protected french heritage. The French governement wants to make sure that the village stays authentic in architecture and charme. In general this is in total alignment with our intention, we love this village and the heritage its represents and we want to create in alignment of the memories and engergies that live in the stones.

However, on a practical level, this means that we are obliged to get a formal authorisation for every little piece that can be see from the outside. Luckily we only have a few windows to change and a huge terasse to build. We thought that anything is better than the gaping hole in the village landscape, but we are taught otherwise. See for yourself.

For the official approval from the french governement, we need to create an exact image of what we are planning to do. So far we have sent 10 differnet versions, none of them was exepted. We even had the decision makers come over, have a look and make a drawing, but still our propositions were not quite exceptet.
