Espace Culturel Osier Vannerie

Cultural center

What is the Espace Culturel Osier-Vannerie?

This cultural center was born of the desire of the commune and those involved in the industry to create a place dedicated to showcasing the know-how and heritage characteristic of the village: wicker and basketry. The aim is to support local initiatives, proposals and innovative experiments. The Espace Culturel encourages the development of wicker- and basket-making-related activities by opening them up to the village and surrounding area, highlighting their history and future, and facilitating exchanges with professionals, craftsmen and artists from France and abroad.

A visit to the Espace Culturel Osier-Vannerie

The Espace-Culturel Osier-Vannerie (Osier and Basketry Museum) features almost 200 objects, videos and interactive terminals, and offers guided tours and children’s trails. Come and admire masterpieces of wickerwork, discover the skills of wickerworkers and basketmakers, and learn about the evolution of the craft.

Group visits are possible all year round, on reservation. Treasure hunts are also organized for children.

Open to all forms of craftsmanship

With the creation of the Maison des Savoir-Faire, a new space has been created within the Espace Culturel to host temporary exhibitions focusing on all areas of arts and crafts, as well as workshops and demonstrations.
