At the book inauguration at the E&O hotel (see previous blog) I met the English couple James and Julie who used to live for a long-time in Switzerland. They generously invited me to some local street food in a food stall and I learned that they restored during years an ancient and mighty castle owned by a Swiss banker in the French part of Switzerland (click here to see pictures). The two are actually designers and restorers of old houses and castles and their company's name is Castleworkshops. James learned his trade after he graduated from arts school and made his living as an antique dealer in London. He learned how to restore old furniture and specific ancient techniques. Today they work as a pair as designers and restores out of Paris.
