We return again in the castle. Monique Brossard is not an only lacemaker but also "filetière". Training courses are proposed with in love with this art (see heading stage/filet).
In right-hand side, Flora Skergat Berdet d' Yverdon baths (Swiss). Flora is of Italian origin but usually speaks French. So she could explain me what is the technique of the "national Hook": she makes laces with the spindles, sews them on the model and then made the filling with lace the needle-point, it is, with little thing near, our "lace of Luxeuil".
