The Paeore, a timeless link

Starting from 132€ / pers.

The Australs are the home of basketry in French Polynesia. Through this immersion, you will understand the entire manufacturing process and never look at a basket or a woven carpet with the same eye again. Our favorite artisans will guide you through their fields of paeore (pandanus), the raw material grown for basketry. Once the paeore leaves are harvested, dried and prepared for braiding, you will have the opportunity to make your own braided object. This is a rare opportunity to get involved in the daily lives of Australians, for whom basketry is a real way of life rather than just an economic activity.

Duration: 4 hours

Group size: From 2 to 8 people
