The Forge à Pique-Assaut Blacksmithing Economuseum houses both a workshop and a boutique under the same roof. For many years now, in Saint-Laurent on Orléans Island, visitors to the blacksmith shop have been fascinated by the fire in the forge and the sound of the hammer striking the anvil, again and again. In the workshop, the artisan-blacksmiths are busy at work. Their precise, perfectly synchronized movements borrow from both traditional and modern techniques to create one-of-a-kind pieces such as tables, candelabras, shelves, decorative grillwork, and more. Your visit will give you an opportunity to admire authentic pieces forged by our ancestors. And you will be impressed – indeed, dazzled – by the boutique with its original objects, which speak so highly of the blacksmith’s work.
