New Post has been published on https://vacationsoup.com/february-half-term-in-normandy/
February Half Term in Normandy
Today is the first day of the February half term holidays in Normandy. Throughout France, holidays will last until the 8th March because different regions have alternative dates.
For visitors to Normandy, there are activities to do even though it's not the main summer season. For ideas of what to do in winter, visit this page.
For something quite different why not visit a local bell foundry? La Fonderie des Cloches is located in Villedieu-les-Poêles in Normandy. The town is known as the copper town although other metals were also worked here. Villedieu has a rich heritage of bellfounding dating back to the end of the Middles Ages. The current bell foundry building was built in 1865.
You can watch how the bells are made and learn about the production process. Tours are available in English by prior arrangement. Listen to the carillon bells in the courtyard and the sounds of visitors trying out other bells.

A Whole Lotta Bells by Kurt Evensen The Olsen Nauen Bell Foundry (Norwegian: Olsen Nauen Klokkestøperi) is a Norwegian bell foundry located in the municipality of Tønsberg. The foundry was established in 1844 by Ole Olsen, and it is headed today by the sixth generation of the Olsen Nauen family. The company is based at the Nauen farm in Sem and is Norway's only bell foundry. The Olsen Nauen Bell Foundry produces glockenspiels, church bells, ship's bells, farm bells, and other products from bell metal, which is a specific alloy of copper and tin. The company has supplied bells to most Norwegian churches. Part of its production is exported, some to mission churches and also to other clients. Examples of carillons cast by Olsen Nauen include the ones in Oslo City Hall, Oslo Cathedral, Sem Town Hall in Tønsberg, and Trinity Church in Arendal. The company has also produced a 52-bell travelling carillon, which is the world's largest. The Nauen farm also has a small museum with a display of old and new bells. https://flic.kr/p/2hmzq84

Bellfounding is a unique art. Massive bells, often cast for churches or clocktowers, are meant to last for generations, and sit at the intersection of tradition, music, metallurgy, and art. Bells begin as a pair of molds, forming the inner and outer cast of the bell, which is then filled with molten bronze (a special alloy known as “Bell Metal”), and allowed to cool for several weeks. For Russian bells, this is the end of the process, but European bells go through a followup tuning process, where a lathe is used to mill the inside of the bell until the harmonics form a precise ratio, giving a bell its distinctive tone. After this, the bell is taken to its final destination, though some bells are so large that towers are actually built around the bell’s casting site, and hoisted directly into place! Discovery TV has a great little video showing this whole process at a bellfoundry in Holland. (Photo credit Sharon Mollerus)
