Craftsmanship

Applied arts are part of French culture. From heritage conservation to creating tomorrow’s works of art, craftsmen are flying the colours of France’s cultural heritage.

The 2015 European Days of craftsmanship are a unique celebration of the most exceptional craftsmen and will take place Friday 27-Sunday 29 March.

With Bontourism® you will be able to look for the most exceptional craftsmen in your region, who combine traditional know-how and new technology. Over time, these experts have influenced local history. They are the guardians of the art of making and handing down well-kept trade secrets and skills.

More than 3,000 professionals open their doors to the public. You will be able to meet and discuss with these experts who will speak passionately of their trade and skills passed down through the generations.

A large number of events will take place across France.
