The Boat Makers in the press
Reports, videos and articles on the Makers of Boats and the Audomarois marsh
Welcome to our press area, which some also like to call News room!
You will first find in this space our press releases, but also a list of press articles and videos/reports highlighting the Boat Makers, their workshop, the construction of bacôves and escutes as well as the Audomarois marsh.
As the last boat makers in the Audomaroise region and as guarantors of the conservation of this tradition, but also as lovers of the marsh, we are very often asked to bear witness to the history of Saint-Omer and the marsh. Thus, this section cannot include all the number of articles highlighting our activity and our projects.
Do you want to make a report on the Audomarois marshes, our passion and our constructions? Send us a message via the classic form or contact us at 06.08.09.94.88
We will be happy to share our passion with you and with the public.
The written press talks about us!
