In the heart of Thiers' Vallée des Usines, experience an immersive visit to Fontenille Pataud. Sounds, smells, precise gestures: immerse all your senses in the living world of French cutlery.

Located in Thiers' Vallée des Usines, a guided tour of the Fontenille Pataud workshop takes you to the heart of a living craft. In a real working workshop, all your senses are called upon: the hammering of metal, the scent of precious woods, the shine of polished blades, the precision of handcrafted gestures... Through a guided tour, you'll discover every stage in the manufacture of a knife: from assembly to shaping, including guillochage and polishing. More than just a visit, it's an authentic encounter with excellent craftsmanship, in a rehabilitated industrial setting where history and the human hand continue to shape the object. A must for anyone interested in craftsmanship and living heritage. For larger groups, we advise you to contact us by phone or e-mail.
