A beautiful old Manor House called Chez Jallot was built about 130 years ago in a tiny hamlet called Vidaillat in Limousin, central France. The Manor House was built out of local granite and has 3 main floors, cellars and a huge Attic.
Chez Jallot has a lot of history. During W.W.II it was the headquarters of the local resistance until it was discovered and completely burnt out in July 1944. All that stands now are the granite walls and attached barn, so this is a massive project to take on.
The charming couple taking on this project are Miss Denise Daniel and Mr. Doug Ibbs.
Denise found our company on the Internet, and new exactly what type of Slate she was looking for. A First Grade Chinese Roofing Slate (Balmoral Grey). Size: 300 x 200 (a typical French size), and 18,000 of them please.
When we said yes we have that Slate, and the particular size of Slate, Denise was amazed. Because i think she had been looking for the Slate a long time, so on February 17 2004 Slateproducts.com delivered 18,000 Balmoral Grey, First Grade Chinese Roofing Slate to Chez Jallot.

The entire renovation and refit is being filmed for the Channel 4 programme Grand Designs, and was shown late Autumn 2004.
The unique features and history of the Manor House make it of special interest to the production company, and this will add to the impact the programme has on the viewers. The scale of the project means that it is likely to be re-visited and a second programme being shown.
