The Biard-Roy family is one of the few to work as a campanist. For 200 years now, six generations have been building Norman bell towers and monuments. Their exceptional know-how has been recognized by the label Entreprise du patrimoine vivant.
History. Abraham Roy, a Swiss watchmaker, started this family business by settling in 181 in Sainte-Austreberthe, a small town in Seine-Maritime. His son Henry took over the torch and developed monumental watchmaking mechanisms to equip the Normandy, Brittany and Ile-de-France bell towers. It thus develops the bell activity.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the marriage of the heiress Roy with Gustave Biard, a carpenter of his condition, enabled the company to offer the municipalities the structured structures adapted to the installation of bells: belfries. She also developed the "mourning hammer" system, which allows two sounds to be produced with a single bell.
Over time and generations, the company, still managed by the descendants of the founder, has developed its know-how and its establishment by creating an agency in Villedieu-les-Poêles (50). Combining tradition and technology, it operates in the field of bells, the protection of property and people, as well as in the sound system or church heating.
The products. Manufacturing and restoration of belfries for bell towers and design-installation-restauration-restauration-maintenance of bells, ringing of buildings, monumental dials, lightning conductors and lightning conductors.
