Crafts in the Bauges: authentic expertise
The Bauges Mountains are a region where creativity finds expression through unique craftsmanship. Here, there’s no magic wand, just passionate craftspeople, tools weathered by time and precise techniques passed down like a precious elixir from one generation to the next. The result: creations with heart and soul, designed and crafted locally.
Handcrafted pottery, carefully crafted wooden objects, natural textiles, delicate jewellery… Each piece tells the story of the Bauges countryside and its raw energy. These artisans concoct veritable potions of craftsmanship, concentrated with talent and creativity. Ideal for an original gift or to take home an authentic souvenir of your stay in the Bauges.
Step inside their workshops and discover inspiring worlds, where creativity brews like a rare tea. Some Bauges-based craftspeople offer hands-on workshops: a chance to learn, experiment and leave with a piece you’ve made yourself. Warning: you may well become hooked on the softness of the glazes or the scent of freshly turned wood!
Unique creations for lasting memories
