Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707-1788) was the superintendent of the Royal Botanical Garden of France for nearly 50 years, from 1739 until his death. His work Histoire naturelle (Natural History), in 36 illustrated volumes, was an extraordinary success immediately after publication. The animals contained in the book were an inspiration for the fine arts, fashion, decor, educational works and children's books. This is evidenced by the Buffon memory game, an illustrated game, published around 1840 in Paris. The memory game with 96 animals on 24 cards was made by Nicolas Fleuri Jannin. The reproduced copy is stored in the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.

For over 100 years, VILAC has been fulfilling children's dreams. The French brand VILAC, as the flagship of the French industry for the production of wooden toys, is located deep in the heart of the Jura Mountains, surrounded by mountains, lakes and forests. Since 1911, VILAC has been producing wooden toys hand in hand with traditional manufacturing, modern trends, adaptable economics and an emphasis on ecology. The toys are made from wood sourced from sustainably managed forests, respecting biodiversity and with a strong emphasis on environmentally friendly technologies. VILAC prefers short routes for wood delivery. It uses local wood and ensures that a new tree is planted for every tree felled. Because today we can no longer ignore the challenges of environmental problems, VILAC is committed to defending our planet. After all, a river consists of many small drops. Therefore, VILAC continues its environmentally friendly activities.
VILAC also follows in the footsteps of the old turning factories that once made the region famous: craftsmen lovingly turned, smoothed, sanded, lacquered and decorated wood in their workshop in the Jura mountains. Beech, hornbeam, alder or boxwood from the surrounding French forests are used; this wood guarantees the specificity and quality of production. There are so many stories about these craftsmen who love their craft and have managed to pass it on. In fact, not much has changed in the last 110 years, and that's quite reassuring. The gestures are almost the same, the noise of the machines, the sounds of carving and painting wood create the same melody. Above all, the workshop still smells of beech wood chips, which evoke old memories. If the company does not have the know-how for some toys in France, it manufactures t
