Shingle maker 

En español

El «tavillonador» 

Léon Doutaz forma parte de los diez profesionales que mantienen la artesanía de la colocación del «tavillon» en el cantón de Friburgo. El oficio exige un excelente conocimiento de la madera, una gran resistencia a las condiciones meteorológicas, fuerza y concentración. Léon Doutaz atiende con placer a los visitantes en los pastos alpinos el verano o en su taller en Pringy el invierno. 

Léon Doutaz has devoted himself completely to the traditional craft of shingle making. He is one of ten men in the canton who learnt this trade from scratch. Besides strength and concentration, he needs an excellent feeling for the wood to ensure that his roof is capable of controlling the temperature of the chalet. He welcomes visitors interested in learning more about this traditional craft.
