Musée vivant des vieux métiers

Workshop presenting the different stages of creating beeswax candles.

Held in the museum's outdoor courtyard, the wheel strapping activity offers you a living glimpse of a vanished trade, occupied by those who were called wheelwrights. Step by step, this intense work is carried out in front of your eyes in accordance with traditional methods, to produce cartwheels ready for use.

Breton specialties: (depending on the day) Breton cake, kouign amann (butter cake), pâte cake, far Breton.

As a logical follow-up to the milk skimming workshop, the traditional churned butter production organised at the Museum is not to be missed, for both your eyes and your taste buds. Discover the manufacturing tools of the past while enjoying freshly made semi-salted blocks.

Discover the clay sculpting methods used by our volunteers Joëlle and Isabelle, making pottery of many shapes and sizes
