24 hours, March 5, 2019

In Philippe Naegele’s forge in Chexbres, Bertille Laguet chisels the six crowns of the future kings of the Fête des Vignerons.

Bertille Laguet, an apprentice blacksmith, definitely ends up challenging our preconceptions, and not only because she doesn’t have anything of the stocky dwarf of our fantasies. She speaks fondly of metal. She finds him sweet. For her there is something organic and harmonious in the work of the forge. Nothing is created without benevolence, consistency, ethics and love.
