A wonderful experience. Marie-Laure and Arnaud could not have made us feel more welcome. The story of their business and the goods they produce is fascinating. We were treated to a very personal and highly detailed account of their beautiful products as well as the background details of how they started out. Their experiences and knowledge gathered from around the world is remarkable and their passion is contagious. Anyone who is interested in crafts will love the whole experience. As a bonus, the wooden collection is extraordinary!

A fantastic experience.

We made a 2-hour guided tour of “La Balaiterie”. This visit was very interesting. We learnt that the owners perpetuate an ancestral tradition of manufacturing very fine and colorful brooms, made with sorghum. The owner who is passionate to do that work and fascinating by transmitting his knowledge. During this amazing visit, we learned a lot about: growing sorghum, dyeing sorghum straw fibers and making brooms, dustpans and brushes of different sizes. We finished the tour, by visiting by wood craft museum I highly recommend the visit of “La Balaiterie”.
