A great success for this new edition of the event “La forêt enchante Murlin”, organized on the weekends of June 10/11 and June 17/18 as part of the Nuits des Forêts festival.

Thanks to these open days at the Charlois group establishments, several hundred visitors have (re)discovered with passion various activities and skills related to the valorization of forests and their invaluable resources.

 

The coopers of the Manufacture tonnelière La Grange thus shared their passion for their craft and centuries-old expertise. It was an opportunity for wonderful exchanges with the public, who were amazed to discover this exceptional workshop.

Many other activities were offered in Murlin throughout these two festival weekends, such as mini treatments by La Chênaie, wine tastings aged in oak barrels, and an outdoor screening of the filmLe Chêne by Michel Seydoux and Laurent Charbonnier. A session under the stars in a natural amphitheater, perfect for watching this film that tells the story of an oak tree and its many inhabitants!

The artistic performances of KORSé, Jana & JS and HOROR on landscape sleeper fences and that of 2spacy on a barrel from La Manufacture tonnelière La Grange also attracted many visitors, who watched live as beautiful works of art were created from scratch.

Not to mention the market with local producers and artisans, and the conferences by Pérégreen on «The Colors Hidden in the Trees of Our Forests” and Frédéric Labbe’s conference on “The Biodiversity of Our Forests”, along with the vegetal guinguette, where visitors enjoyed meals in a lush, green setting!

 

A big thank you to all our visitors, our partners, and all the teams at the Charlois group and its establishments for their invaluable help in making this wonderful event a success!

L’Atelier [Itinérant] du Tonnelier - Now Operational
We are in the middle of the grape harvest in Burgundy, and a rather unusual truck is making its way through the vineyards, travelling from one village to the next. A vintage-looking truck, a Citroën Type H van reminiscent of days gone by. Its arrival does not go unnoticed: people take pictures of it and ask Laurent, who is behind the wheel: “What y [...]
