La Noe, a palladian style chateau located 30km away from Nantes, is also comprised of a courtyard, a pigeon loft and, last but not least, the Orangerie.
The Orangerie was built in 1836 and it is the oldest building in La Noe de Bel Air. Until 1956, it was used, as its name suggests, to keep orange trees during winter, which were placed in summer as decoration in front of the chateau.
The aim of our project is to renovate all of the Orangerie, which has lost some of its sparkle due to storms. Indeed, the north façade and the top cornice were almost entirely destroyed.
An earlier phase of renovation has already taken care of part of the principal (south) façade and renovated the top cornice and wall coatings.
However, the top of the north façade being destroyed, it no longer protects the building, meaning the Orangerie is at risk of further deterioriation due to the rain and winter frost.

What is the aim of the fundraising?
-Minimum aim: 5000€, which will allow us to finance the setting up of the scaffolding.
Then,
-stage 2: 8500€ to finance the brick work
-stage 3: 12500€ to finance the second part of brick work
-stage 4: 22000€ to finance the cornice
The total project sums up to 50 000€ and will be financed by personal funding, a loan and hopefully DRAC’s help. (Direction Régionale des Affaires Culturelles)
I am François de Malestroit. It is my ancestor Armand de Malestroit who built the property almost two hundred years ago. I always was fascinated by the peace coming from this place and I really wish to get involved in this property in order to take care of it and maintain its identity.
