Maker's Story
Quelle est Belle Company
Beaumont-en-Diois, France
Founded in 1980
In the Drôme region of France, Monsieur François Morel has been making wooden bird calls for decades, believing that one must know nature better to better protect it. Using traditional craftmanship and locally sourced materials, each hand carved call is made to mimic the birds songs, helping you to recognize each bird, communicate with them, discover, and observe them. The calls are coveted by birders, twitchers, and were even part of Björk’s 2017 Utopia album release. Each are nested in a box ensuring the heirloom call will connect you with nature and the beautiful birds for decades to come.
