Les Bauges, a treasure trove of living craftsmanship
The Bauges mountain range, situated between Savoie and Haute-Savoie, is not only a haven of unspoilt nature but also a veritable hotbed of artisanal talent. Many artisans practise their craft here with passion: jewellers, potters, sculptors, soap makers, painters… Each of them carries on precious traditional skills, whilst infusing their creations with a contemporary touch.
Workshops and encounters as you wander through the villages
