In part two on this series on the Clog Museum, we meet the last remaining clog maker in the village. And surprisingly, he isn't wearing clogs!

Hilaire from the Clog Museum shares some more interesting facts about clog manufacturing back in the day. For instance, clogs used to be sold without a strap—the buyer would have to put one on him or herself.

We continue our visit to the Clog Museum with Lionel and Hilaire who will teach you how to use some very interesting tools for clog manufacturing.

We continue our series on clog making. Hilaire explains step three, the hollowing out of the clog with special equipment, and the finishing stage, sanding the outside and drying the wood.

Hilaire summarizes all the steps in the clog-making process. The Clog Museum has descriptions with models in relief for the blind and visually impaired.

Sophie and Patrice share their impressions of Paris under a gray sky. They say that the multiple shades of gray make Paris all the more beautiful. Even the old buildings blackened by years of grime add texture and beauty, but they concede that a good clean-up is sometimes necessary.

We continue our visit to the Clog Museum and learn about these very old machines that are still in use today.

Hilaire shows us some of the more unusual clogs at the Clog Museum, from souvenirs clogs made for American troops in World War II to clogs made for cracking chestnuts.

In the final episode of this series on the Clog Maker's Museum, you'll see many kinds of clogs from all over Europe, including clogs for babies!

You will discover in this video the great history of Bitche, a medieval city in the east of France. Its citadel, an important line of defense in the Thirty Years' War, was rebuilt on the ruins of a castle dating back to the twelfth century.

We continue our tour of the citadel of Bitche deep in its underground passages, which contain a large well that dates from the Middle Ages.

Cyril walks us through the underground passages where livestock was kept and troops were housed during the 1870-71 siege of Bitche.

Lionel takes us to a bakery, not the modern kind, but one located beneath the citadel of Bitche. The four giant ovens could each bake five hundred rations a day to feed up to two thousand soldiers!

Cyril and Lionel end our visit to the citadel by showing us where the officers of the garrison slept. And why not take them up on their invitation to visit the citadel in person during your future travels?

Daniel Benchimol takes us to Médan, a small town to the north of Paris. In addition to a few fifteenth-century landmarks, this town attracted famous poets and writers. Among those writers was Émile Zola, although in this video, he's featured in another capacity that might surprise you.
