The Essentials

Arts and crafts exhibition

"L'essentiel est invisible aux yeux", the famous phrase that Saint-Exupéry had the fox say, is disturbingly apt, especially as it is preceded by the equally poetic statement that "you can only see well with your heart".
The essential thing is the emotion we feel. Creation is a mysterious vehicle for this, taking us on a journey into the imagination of childhood, joyous in its innocence.

Le Bocal is an exhibition space dedicated to arts and crafts. Every month, from April to December, it presents a different theme, highlighting the many facets of the craft.

Le Bocal has been an associate member of Ateliers d'Art de France since 2020.

We organise events that are open to the public and designed to showcase craftspeople and the techniques they use. We also organise conferences, workshops, courses, demonstrations, training courses and publications.
