Le guide est très accueillant et bienveillant...et passionné ! Les explications sont claires et la visite de la fonderie est très intéressante... Nous reviendrons un jeudi (réservation à l'avance) pour voir le travail des fondeurs... Car cela doit vraiment valoir le coup !
Le film sur le record du monde permet de comprendre l'enjeu et la prouesse colossale ainsi que la fabrication de la cloche ! Je suis ravie d'avoir appris autant sur cet objet tellement commun, que l'on voit partout... Mais sans jamais réfléchir à sa conception et fabrication !
Sans oublier le petit moment d'écoute du carillon...un vrai bonheur pour les oreilles...
Boire un café, manger un petit croissant dans un agréable salon avant de partir...termine agréablement la visite.
Merci de faire vivre une partie de notre patrimoine et artisanat !!
Super histoire familiale
Une histoire à découvrir..
Je vous conseille la visite +++
