For over 100 years Vilac has been making toys for children.  It all started in Grenoble, in the South East of France in 1911 and remains in the same area to this day !

In the French department and mountains of Jura, the first Vilac childrens toys we lovingly turned on a lathe, shaped, polished and lacquered  from a beech tree.  Since these humble beginnings at the start of the last century, Vilac has earned its position as one of the most celebrated wooden toy makers in France and Europe.  To this day many toys are still crafted in the Jura area with wood from France.
