    • We have been manufacturing espadrilles for 3 generations . Since 1979, we have been working thanks to a unique know-how developed in Mauléon.

      We also open the doors of our workshop to you, to share our family passion with you through a guided tour. You will be able to enter the hubbub of the workshop, to observe the helping hand of the workers.

      The workshop can be visited all year round (except during the annual closing period), in groups or individually, by making an appointment at 05 59 28 33 61.

      Paid visit €4 per person, approximately 30-45 minutes

    Thank you for this visit with the manufacturing of espadrilles according to the different phases, starting from the hemp sole, the molding and gluing of it, the cutting of the fabric, then its assembly, with stitching and finishing! All the patterns of the canvases are very pretty and modern! It was a great discovery for me, especially the double stitching of the sole. Thank you very much for your welcome and your “show room”. Congratulations also for the bags and all the objects of your production! I recommend your expertise!
