Push the door of galleries, workshops and companies and let yourself be explained the different manufacturing techniques and the secrets of creations by our craftsmen and artists.



A closer look at the "Les Micocouliers" ESAT in Sorède
Jewel of the industrial heritage of Sorède, the whip factory makes you discover a know-how unique in the world which dates back to the XNUMXth century!
The artisanal manufacture of items in Hackberry wood, this supple and robust wood at the same time, has been practiced there since 1845. This activity was taken over in 1970 by an ESAT which still keeps it productive today.
Don't miss the (free) visit to the workshops. Open all year round from Monday to Friday morning.
Focus on the glassmakers of Albères
Between magic and tradition, the art of glassmakers gives birth to contemporary or classic creations in the workshops of Palau-del Vidre, Saint-André and Laroque-des-Albères.
This millennial art lives intensely during the "Glassmaking Summer" at Palau del Vidre. Every week in July and August, 5 to 6 glassmakers present their latest creations.
A highlight not to be missed: the "International Glass Festival" which brings together many French and foreign glassmakers every summer.
