BATCH OF HISTORY + DISCOVER THE KNOWLEDGE OF A HERBALIST(Guided tour From cellar to attic in English and animation)
From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.: Our guide Benjamin Plante bakes fresh bread in our bread oven. The bread will be available for purchase at our boutique. First-come, first-serve!
Take this opportunity to discover our outdoor bread oven. Often called a “summer oven”, it was made of clay in keeping with a traditional artisanal method developed in the 17th century. The inner shape of the vault rises gradually from the door to the back of the oven in order to ensure that the fire burns well. A small roof protects it from bad weather. Once the oven is thoroughly heated with a wood fire, the ashes are removed. When it reaches an adequate temperature, a batch of several loaves of bread is put in to bake. This baking process takes about 30 minutes
From 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.: Come meet herbalist Maureen Wilhelm to discover the practices of herbalism in New France. You'll be captivated by the presentation of different plants and herbs, as well as the tools of a herbalist. By completing a few challenges, you could even earn an apprentice herbalist certificate!
