The Soul of Provence

as Heritage

Established in Apt since 1963, the family business Les Ma-

tériaux Anciens Jean Chabaud has established itself as a

reference in the recovery and sale of antique building ma-

terials in Provence.

Their vast exhibition yard showcases a remarkable col-

lection acquired over decades: stone fountains, entrance

pillars, Burgundy stone flooring, oak beams, antique roof

tiles, traditional terracotta, and period fireplaces. Each

piece is carefully selected for its quality and authenticity.

Founded by Jean Chabaud, the company is now managed

by his children, Sébastien and Caroline, who perpetuate

the family expertise with the same rigor. Their in-depth

knowledge of materials and their established network

allow them access to highly valuable architectural elements

during demolitions or renovations throughout France.

The clientele, consisting of architects, decorators, and pri-

vate individuals, particularly appreciates their ability to

provide materials that confer character and authenticity to

restoration projects or new constructions with traditional

inspiration.

The longevity of this company and its solid reputation tes-

tify to its constant commitment to preserving Provençal

architectural heritage while meeting the practical require-

ments of current construction projects.
