    Cet espace muséographique, situé à Trans-la-Forêt, est dédié à Ferdinand LAIGLE, dernier sabotier de la région et à la confection des sabots de bois. En forêt de Villecartier comme dans les forêts importantes, habitaient au début du siècle de nombreuses familles qui vivaient de l’exploitation du bois.

    Ferdinand LAIGLE était l’héritier d’une famille de sabotiers ayant travaillé en forêt de Villecartier durant plusieurs générations. Au retour de la guerre, il s’était installé à son compte au cœur du bourg de Trans-la-Forêt, dans la bâtisse abritant sa demeure, son atelier et le petit café-épicerie tenu par sa femme. Décédé en 1996, il a laissé son atelier, ses machines et ses outils.
