The scene took place during restoration work on the chapel of the Saint-Louis institution, a Catholic high school.

The fundamentally artisanal character of our productions means that none of the figurines is similar to another, that each of them is, in a way, an original, and that we always feel the hand of the worker who participated in its creation. This customization of each figurine does not detract from the historical accuracy which is one of the main principles of our workshop. Last attraction, and not the least for the collector: the rarity, linked to the very slow pace of production. »
