Bournazel, Le chantier d’une vie

Overview

For over fifteen years, Mr. and Mrs. Harlin have devoted their lives to the rebirth of the Château de Bournazel, a jewel of Renaissance architecture nestled in the heart of Occitanie. This exceptional restoration, carried out with both passion and precision, is not about freezing the past in time, but about anchoring it in the present. This documentary offers a sensitive immersion behind the scenes of a living work of art. Through the gestures of the craftsmen, the couple’s aesthetic choices, and the cultural dynamics they foster, Bournazel becomes far more than a restored monument: it is an open ecosystem, a hive of artistic activity, a place of transmission where History regains breath and meaning. Conceived from the outset as a living cultural space, the château is reinventing itself in the 21st century in constant dialogue with its village, its region, and its community. Concerts, exhibitions, residencies, a humanist library – Bournazel is being reborn as a center of life, hospitality, and creation. A film about transmission, territory, and the rebirth of a place that refuses oblivion – choosing life instead.
