There’s a certain charm in the 300-year-old mud walls of Diego León’s half-dilapidated house in the south of France. The charm is, of course, in how someone probably built them with their own two hands to survive, according to Mr. León, who continues his home renovation today. The simple human husbandry has a primal beauty that’s humbling.

For his family, the work on the house has been something of a spiritual journey.
