Rain, Slate and a Charcuterie Board in Burgundy — The Church of Saint-Philippe and Saint-Jacques at Châteauneuf-en-Auxois
On a rainy afternoon in May, I stood before a 15th-century church in the medieval village of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, Burgundy — camera in hand, looking up at a slate roof that has been shedding French rain for over 500 years. Then I found a charcuterie board and a glass of Burgundy wine. This is that story — and what it taught me about why historic roofs are worth protecting.

What does an 800-year-old French cathedral have to do with your historic home in North Carolina? More than you might think. This May, the Carolina Slate LLC team visited Notre-Dame Cathedral of Reims in France — one of the world's most extraordinary examples of historic roof preservation — and came back with a deeper conviction than ever: the roof above it all is where true protection begins.
