Les p'tits Cordonniers - Atelier Sandalette (enfants de 6 à 11 ans)

Become an apprentice shoemaker for the duration of a workshop at the Musée des Métiers de la Chaussure!

At the heart of the Musée des Métiers de la Chaussure in Sèvremoine, children are invited to enjoy a creative and fun experience by making their own leather sandals.

Using pre-cut pieces of leather, each participant assembles and personalises their creation, which they then take home. Guided step by step by the museum’s activity leaders, the young craftspeople discover the essential techniques of shoemaking whilst developing their creativity and dexterity.

Much more than just a craft workshop, this activity offers a genuine immersion in the craftsmanship for which the Mauges region is renowned. It enables children to understand, whilst having fun, the different stages involved in making a shoe and to take home a unique souvenir, made with their own hands.

An ideal activity for families looking for something original to do during the holidays, combining heritage, discovery and the joy of creating.
