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.

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?

Lionel and Jacqueline take us to the Moselle region in the little town of Schorbach, which is renowned for its pink sandstone sculptures and its Path of the Ten Covenants.

In part two of this series, we continue our visit of the little village of Schorbach and join Jacqueline and Lionel at the Calendar of Peace Museum, which depicts famous figures throughout history, from Buddha to Louis Braille.

The Calendar of Peace includes three figures depicted with their eyes closed, signifying their "inward-looking" lives: Jesus, Buddha, and Louis Braille.

Jacqueline shows Lionel some magnificent wooden statues by a Polish sculptor who settled in France.

Jacqueline explains how the building that now houses Josef Pyrz's sculptures came about.
