In Pézenas
For around fifty years, the rebirth of the historic centre of the town of Boby Lapointe has been the work of artists and creators. Begun as a summer activity, this occupation by artists and artisans is now permanent: around forty artisans and fifteen artists present their creations throughout the year. The main themes represented are crafts involving wood, iron, stone and the trades linked to heritage restoration.
Wrought ironwork, wood turning, creation of stained-glass windows, thermoforming, fusing, gilding, creation of hats, embroidery, glass blowing, different types of earthenware, and stringed instruments, using different materials: glass, polymer clay, paper, fabric, marble... painting on enamel or porcelain, creation of jewellery. Some of the creative professions are unusual! To discover them all, don't hesitate to look at the website of the Métiers d'art!
In the very impressive shelly limestone building of the Maison Consulaire, the Maison des Métiers d'Art of Pézenas Ateliers d'Art de France is a showcase of creative talents; it presents in the form of an exhibition/sale the expertise of 130 artisan creators from the whole of France. One room presents a jewellery shop, another is dedicated to household decoration. Two other rooms present temporary exhibitions which change with the seasons.

Have you always dreamed of starting a craft, but never done it?! It is possible! Faced with a growing interest in the exchange of knowledge and doing things yourself, several artisans have decided to dedicate some of their time to teaching their craft... In a few hours or a few days you can, depending on the workshops on offer, create an object yourself and take it away with you. Let yourself be tempted by these special moments, with a wide range of activities available thanks to the high concentration of artisans in Pézenas. If your other half is more interested in wood while you prefer cloth, no need to choose, everyone can try out their passion.
