Arts, crafts and workshops

Aquitaine is full of men and women of talent who perpetuate ancestral skills through their art and their creations.

Aquitaine has almost 250 different crafts divided into three main sectors: tradition, creation, and conservation of heritage. To this can be added the gourmet craft of regional specialities …

There is wood and metal with the Basque makhila*, earth to make the typical Gironde tile, and leather, ceramic and textile for furnishings, decoration and clothing … Your outings in Aquitaine are an opportunity to discover all sorts of objects, often unique pieces.

Their creators are all unique too; passionate about their craft and their region, they open the doors of their workshops to you and share their passion for art – and their art with passion!
