The renewal of the town hall square was part of a minimalist approach suitable to a small village, aiming at highlighting the recently restored older town hall buildings.
The existing vast grassy area has been accentuated and its geometric shape has been formalised with a long, curving low rubblestone wall which echoes the town hall’s stone façade.
Towards the town hall’s main entrance, an ample thoroughfare was designed in such a way as to provide majestic status to this route towards the community centre and a nearby car park.
Small ancient monoliths were highlighted in keeping with the low stone wall, while a few perennial plants were set to adorn the foot of an ancient blind wall.
A few green oak plantations are occasionally added to the existing pine trees.
