Nearly twenty craftspeople and producers have chosen to join the Savoir-Faire trail: dressmakers, florists, cheese-makers, soap-makers, brewers… So many different skills and personalities to discover!
- What do they all have in common? They’re all professionals with a passion for their trade, who are keen to pass on, explain and share their expertise.
- Their ethics? Choice of materials, respect for the object, intelligent tailoring… Artcrafts embody strong values, far removed from standardised production.
