D'Or et d'Acier

Day between Puy-de-Dôme and the Loire to discover two typical crafts of the region: cutlery and gold thread embroidery.

10 a.m., optional: visit to the cutlery museum in Thiers. Discover the history of the knife that made Thiers its capital. Then the cutlers will practice their know-how under your eyes and will explain to you with passion the assembly of a folding knife and the gestures of the grinder. Or visit the Honoré Chazeau artisan cutlery in Thiers. Our craftsmen will reveal to you the secrets of the artisanal manufacture of pocket knives such as Laguiole or Thiers, but also table or hunting knives. They have perpetuated the tradition and the same gestures since 1854.

12:30 p.m., lunch at the restaurant at the Rendez-vous des chasseurs in Noirétable.
Kir house
Assortment of homemade terrines
Piglet stew and mashed potatoes
White or dry cheese
Floating island
¼ wine
Coffee, tea or infusion

15:30 p.m., visit of the Maison des Grenadières in Cervières, workshop-museum of gold embroidery. Between textile know-how, military history and craftsmanship, let yourself be surprised by this little-known technique which has many secrets to reveal. You will meet an embroiderer at the end of the visit where you can try embroidering yourself. For a group of more than 30 people, part of the group will be able to take a self-guided discovery tour of the town of Cervières and the art and traditions shop in the Nétrablais region.
