The Lambert family has been owner of land after the French Revolution in 1789 when lands were divided among the peasants living in the area.<\/p>

The Giboin family, master-distillers in South-Charente, heavily hit by the phylloxera crisis in 1870.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Constructions in l\u2019Hermitage and Apremont reflect the changes occured in the French agriculture through generations. From crop-livestock farming, French agriculture has slowly moved to selected monoculture. <\/p>

In l\u2019Hermitage, haylofts are still full of hay collected years ago to breed livestock. Hay has now thermal insulation purpose.<\/p>

In Apremont, the dovecote and the barns are relics of the ancestral ways of farming, which have slowly ceased because there are less and less farmers and E.U. politics encouraged higher yields, which are not compatible with mixed farming. Agriculture tends to go backwards nowadays.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn 1870, phylloxera wrecked European vineyards. L\u2019Hermitage, thanks to its dark clay soil was miraculously saved. The insect could not reach the vine roots. Pierre Lambert sold his eaux-de-vie at a very high price so he could build the \u2018Charentaise\u2019 house, where Th\u00e9ophile still lives. Pierre\u2019s sons, L\u00e9opold and Camille followed their father\u2019s work. Anne-Marie and her husband Michel launched the \u2018Giboin\u2019 brand in the 1960\u2019s, which Fran\u00e7ois and his wife Brigitte made grow. Th\u00e9ophile and Pierre-Louis are now the 7th generation. \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSouth-Charente and Dordogne used to be large wine-making regions before the phylloxera changed the game. The Giboin family used to work as distillers and traders in eau-de-vie in Champagne-Fontaine and Blanzaguet, where there are no vines left now. Apremont house and surrounding constructions were built more than 2 centuries ago on the top of a hill. The Bouvier brothers used to be traders in eau-de-vie there, just like the Giboins. Marie-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Bouvier and R\u00e9mi Giboin\u2019s wedding in 1925 reunited 2 families of distillers-traders. \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
