The tavillon, tavaillon in France, but still shingle almost everywhere around the world, is one of the most widespread technique for covering homes. Since time immemorial, man has used the wood at his disposal to make more or less fine tiles for protection against the cold and the rain. It is this technique of covering roofs and facades that master tavillonneur Olivier Veuve presents to you. The first book in French intended for a wide audience in search of authenticity and natural beauty, Tavillons et bardeaux is first and foremost the expression of Olivier Veuve’s passion for these immutable elements of the identity of the mountain landscape. With the rare and precious companions of the profession, Pierre Grandjean, photographers and specialists, including Daniel Glauser and Julien Vuilleumier, he illustrates and explains, in 160 pages and as many photos and documents, the most beautiful achievements of yesterday and Today. This work is accompanied by the DVD entitled: “Joseph Doutaz and Olivier Veuve, tavillonneurs”. Documentary film by Jacqueline Veuve (1989).
