Located in the Home Lounge and under the same (large) roof, Residence et Bois is the healthy and efficient construction salon that respects its environment. With many exhibitors, sustainable habitat is therefore put to the credit, especially through wood material, but also insulation, eco-construction or, but not least, the financing of specifically "ecological" projects. A single theme that is developing in a multitude of specialties and implemented. Furthermore, don't expect to find only roofs, bois siding and hyper-contemporary buildings. The lounge is an opportunity to understand that sustainability can also be synonymous with tradition, diversity and even savings!

This year, the Notre-Dame de l'Assomption church in Valloire houses the work of three artists from very different worlds, but linked by "Les Mains". This is the sculptor Philippe Desloubières, known for his metal sculptures with aerial, generous and rounded shapes... The outer part, in front of the church, houses his Corten steel sculpture impregnated with the plant world. Serena Carone, whose works are rooted in the present time and often tinged with a little cynicism, but also poetry... She who likes to work with her hands... has a space inside the church, where she offers a part of her cabinet of curiosities, including a woman who cries, another who dreams softly. Nathalie Petit, visual artist who works the earth with her sensitive hands... a practitioner of self-awareness... with the visual and sound accompaniment of the Chinese pianist Yuga Wang with aerial and precise hands.
