Seigle, ronce et noisetier à la veillée - Gestes, paroles et savoir-faire de Morvandiaux

Rye was one of the main cereal crops in the Morvan region. While the grain is used for food, the stalk is also valued, particularly in basketry, to make baskets of all sizes. The bramble serves as a binding agent. Hazelnut trees are also used to make baskets, particularly for potatoes. Learn more about the steps involved in making a rye basket. In Ménessaire, the Maison du Seigle exhibits numerous objects made in this way, from bread baskets to beehives.

Thus was born a collection called "Gestures, Words, and Know-How of the Morvan," which the Park now makes available online for free to all. These engaging portraits and the transmission of techniques and knowledge, sometimes lost, help us better discover, understand, and appreciate the Morvan. In addition to this public presentation, the Park has nearly 200 hours of footage of these testimonies available to researchers and enthusiasts.
