Saint-Léonard de Noblata land of expertise

The town of Saint-Léonard de Noblat has been awarded the “Ville et Métiers d’Art” (Town and Crafts) label, and is home to a large number of arts and craftspeople who perpetuate time-honoured skills. The arts of fire vibrate here, paper is handmade and tanning is vegetable-based.

While paper pulp is being kneaded at Moulin du Got, kaolin is being metamorphosed in the Porcelaines Carpenet workshops, clay is being twirled by Marie-France, and leather is being transformed by the effects of tanning and time… and so goes the ballet, both artistic and technical, of our craftsmen!

Let yourself be guided!

For lovers of the arts and crafts, there’s now a route leading to all the arts and crafts shops in the town centre at Saint-Léonard de Noblat. Follow the arrows and be amazed! Around ten craftspeople bring their workshops to life in Saint-Léonard de Noblat and the surrounding area. Discover their world and their creations by consulting the complete list here.
