EXPOSITION DE L'ARTISANAT DES POILUS
Museums
in Palavas-les-Flots
-
A unique collection in France, renewed every week and entrusted by Mr. Jean-Pierre Malka.
More than 1000 pieces of trenches that the Poilus tinkered with during the long hours of waiting.

Sometimes clumsy and naive creations, but also real little masterpieces: vases, letter openers, inkwells, rings, pendants...
