It was around 1860 that Basile Boisbunon created the family sabotage. It was his son, also named Basil, who ensured continuity until his death. His wife Augustine worked alone for many, many years to broadcast to his son Paul, who made clogs from 1930 to 1993. This workshop remained in its appearance until the takeover by Paul Boisbunon, very quickly the machine replaced the manual work, which allowed to increase to 10 pairs per hour, although there is still a lot of finishing work to do by hand. You will discover all the tools corresponding to these tasks. You can also walk to the Immaculate Conception Church, the old wash house and the Town Hall Park
