If the blast furnaces exist it is because before them there was the low furnaces. Thierry, our blacksmith will take you a few centuries earlier, to discover the operation of the bottom furnace.

Throughout the weekend you can discover the trades of blacksmith and blacksmith. Don’t hesitate to meet Thierry and Marion who will be delighted to answer your questions. Thierry will have the heavy task of running the low furnace, trying to pull out an iron magnifying glass and beating his own record obtained last year since he managed to take out a magnifying glass of 3 kg, almost all the iron contained in the ore.
