Journées Nationales des Métiers d'Art

This coming weekend is the Journées Nationales des Métiers d'Art.


The cars on their stand told another story:

A Delage
and an Hispano Suiza






  1. I was confused because I had never heard of Veigne. Then I looked at Google maps and realized it's Veigné. Ah. I've driven through there many times.

  2. LOL Simon,
    I thought I learned a new word in English and of course it made sense. Ebonistes, even though the ending looked French. Those people work with ebony, don't they?

    In fact, the French work with ébène and that makes them ébénistes.

  3. chm. I can't even find where I think I copied it from to see if the mistake is mine or theirs. I suspect I know the answer... My only defence is a lack of sleep.

    If I had read the pamphlet better, I would have added "pressing" to the list!!

  4. Nice post. Enjoyed watching the video.... there's a man who really enjoys his work!

  5. I couldn't open the video yesterday. I am so glad that so many people (artists really) still have proud and passion in their work.
