Description
This museum, located in Trans-la-Forêt, is dedicated to the craft of wooden clog making. In the Villecartier forest, as in other large forests, many families lived at the beginning of the century, making their living from timber harvesting.
Ferdinand Laigle, the last clog maker in Trans-la-Forêt, a profession once widespread in the Villecartier forest, bequeathed his workshop, machines, and tools to the town. The workshop now houses a modern and interactive museum space, taking you on a journey to discover the secrets of clog making, from cutting the tree trunks to the finished product. On display are clogs from around the world, both past and present.
New this year: information translated into Gallo, the local dialect. Welcome to the Oté du Sabiao!
Guided tours are organized for groups and as part of the "Echappées Baie" program of the Pays de Dol and Mont-Saint-Michel Bay Community of Municipalities: nature, culture, local know-how... Book now!
