L'Île aux Crayons

Patrick makes pencils out of tree branches and not just any pencils! Birch, hazel, fir, charcoal maple, willow. Rediscover the magic of trees with pencils of all colors and shapes.

We approach it with humor and poetry, because smiling is a way of showing teeth, the manufacture of pencils and that of mines, history, pigments and the extraordinary adventures of the pencil sharpener. We talk about trees, shapes, colors and the good use of the knife. The place is seated, the workshop is naturally air-conditioned and it smells of drying wood. Woods are friends of outlaws.
On reservation, possibility of accommodating groups (10 people minimum) of schoolchildren of all levels, summer camps, seniors and the disabled.
