The ‘goguet’ of the marshes is a traditional flat-bottomed boat formerly used to get around, to go fishing or waterfowl hunting in the Cotentin and Bessin marshes.
You will build a boat based on the design of the traditional ‘goguet’. The various processes of assembling and cutting out will be performed using hand tools (handsaw, chisel, plane …).
PROGRAMME:
The stages of construction:
- Sharpening the tools
- Positioning the floor timbers: marking out, cutting, squaring.

One of the participants can leave with the boat built in the course of the workshop for the price of 500€ instead of the 1,000€ official retail price. If you’re interested in this option, please let us know when you sign up for the workshop. You will
