Ancestral know-how

Traditional craft trades play an important role in the Corrèze and the emphasis here is on excellence. Accordions, traditionally-made local liqueurs and aperitifs, barrels, copperware, lace, cabinet-making, wood- and slate working are some of the products and skills that shape the region’s historic, artistic and economic heritage. In recognition of their expertise, Denoix distillery, Maugein Accordion factory and Art et Tradition du Chaume roof thatchers have been awarded the “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” label for their commitment to keeping heritage alive.
