Visite d’une ferme productrice d’osier « la pèlerie »

Discover the trade of the basket maker. Séverine and Patrick will show you the different varieties of wicker grown, and give you ideas for garden design.
What is wicker? How does it grow? What can we do with it? L'Osier de Gué Droit invites you to take part in a unique wicker-growing experience. You'll be guided through the facilities and learn about the different stages of cultivation and processing, depending on the season. The "pèlerie" or hulling period brings the farm to life, with the wicker in the basin filled with leaves and roots turning white. This is an important stage in the transformation of the material, which is then woven. Your discovery of wicker even extends to experimentation?
