Visit to the Chantier des Ileaux company

Here's a look back at our last meeting between the EPV Pays de la Loire on 14 May at Chantier des Ileaux in the Vendée.

On Tuesday 14 May 2024, the Réseau Excellence Pays de la Loire association - external link had the opportunity to discover the expertise of Chantier des Ileaux - external link, a company that has specialised in the construction and restoration of traditional and composite wood boats since 2002. It was also an opportunity to talk about the know-how conservation programme.

We set off to discover the skills and know-how of a shipyard at Chantier des Ileaux - external link, thanks to the testimony of its director : Frédéric Maingret. We observed the results of each stage of manufacture, from cutting to the different techniques used to meet the requirements of each customer.
