In regions such as the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, crafts such as shoemaking have long played a central role in the economy and everyday life of communities. These activities, often transmitted from generation to generation, reflect the importance of manual labour and business corporations in the social organization of small towns and villages. Today, museums dedicated to these know-how allow us to perpetuate this collective memory.
