Les métiers de nos ancêtres et la vie d’autrefois / The trades of our ancestors and life in bygone days immerse you in the heart of professions that have disappeared or been transformed: cutlers, weavers, lacemakers, sawyers, shepherds, fishermen from Newfoundland, innkeepers, privateers, and many more. This richly illustrated book recounts with precision the daily work, the technical skills, the tools, and the often harsh living conditions of our forebears.

As you turn the pages, discover a world that is sometimes idyllic, sometimes terrifying, radically different from our modern society. A fascinating book for anyone interested in the history of trades, French artisanal heritage, and daily life in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Perfect for enthusiasts of local history, genealogy, and historical reenactments.
