Visites Atelier VoilaGil, voilerie traditionnelle

The Voilagil workshop is a small-scale craft business; I started sailmaking in 2012 and settled in Questembert in 2016. Since then, I have made the sails for several sinagots (maritime heritage sailing ships in the Gulf of Morbihan). Like "les Trois Frères" or the "Jean et Jeanne"; but also the "Forban du Bono" and the "Belle de Vilaine" (Billiers). I will soon be making the sails for the Grand Norven (Piriac/mer). I also make custom-made shade sails. Good reasons to go: artisanal know-how; living heritage company; unusual visit Wednesdays, October 22 and 29 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Public: all ages Duration: approx. 1 hour Group: min. 5 people up to max. 10 people. Advance booking REQUIRED (online by clicking on the "book" button on this page or at the Questembert and Rochefort-en-Terre Tourist Offices).
