Led by a basket weaver and a woodworker

The heritage comes to life at Vieux Moulins de la Tine! Dive into the heart of the gestures of yesteryear with unique demonstrations every weekend in July and August from Sunday, July 13. These animations offer you a rare opportunity to see, feel and hear the trades that made the heart of our valleys beat. A living, authentic and accessible moment for all – young and old, curious and passionate.

Saturday, August 9 program:
– The basker weaver will demonstrate live how to weave various objects from wicker, keeping alive a craft that is both humble and refined.
– A carpenter will be restoring the saw-sharpening press, one of the many tools in the mill awaiting repair.
– And the second carpenter will share his know-how by restoring, before your eyes, old objects donated to the Mills during the reconstruction.

Workshop from 2:00 to 3:00 PM: Make your own string
