ONCE UPON A TIME,
… LES FORGES
OPENING ON APRIL 09, 2023 FOR THE EASTER PARTY!! See you soon
At the gates of Foix, there was an unforgettable village. The smell of bread, the song of the anvil or even the sound of the school bell will tell you the little and the great history of the Pyrenees in 1900.
Our animators and craftsmen share with you with humor and conviction their passion for this region and the trades of our
ancestors.
ONCE UPON A TIME,
… LES FORGES
In a rural setting, a shady 5-hectare park, crossed by a river, lies an unforgettable village… A village of old but very much alive, where trades and tools from the old days take pride of choice once again. 5 km from Foix, come and enjoy a period of History with Philip (Zeze), Fabien, Frédo et David the famous onsite blacksmith, shoemaker, vannier and schoolmaster. They shed light on the actions and methods of a bygone but very revolutionary era. The space museum and its collection of 6,500 tools rounds off a visit full of moments worth sharing. Both the young and old will love it!
