Jorelle depuis 1864

A craftsman's testimony: 

To create an exceptional croquet set, I use wood from the forests of Normandy: beech, flamed ash, maple, hornbeam, cherry, sycamore, chestnut, boxwood, walnut, pink and white elm.

As I turn the wood, each species reminds me of its difference through its fragrance: the "fruity" of wild cherry and the "peppery" of walnut invite you to a ball of scents. Each wood is chosen for its qualities: hardness for boxwood and hornbeam, fine grain for walnut and sycamore, suppleness and strength for ash...

The company

We are fortunate to be based in Normandy, near the Lyons state forest, which is the most beautiful beech forest in Europe. We use the following woods for all our products: beech, hornbeam, ash and fir.

There's no doubt that our games have a retro feel to them, but how many of today's most sophisticated games will survive the ages, the centuries, like skittles, bilboquets, barrels, croquets, etc.? These games are part of French and European cultural heritage.

Our company has been based in the local artisanal zone since 1976. Wood cutting, prototype and game manufacturing, storage, showroom and offices are spread over three buildings with a total surface area of 1400 m2.
