Des amis de la famille habitaient dans le coin (Arcachon, et aussi Cap Ferret), j'y ai passé beaucoup de temps étant gamin.

So that's why LAIKA is making new puppets of Coraline & co (the old ones being a bit worn out).
This allows them to continue displaying puppets in exhibitions, and also to do lots of other things, such as taking new photos for the purposes of an artbook ♡
