Carte du Mercantour

The Mercantour territory

With a length of 150 km, the territory extends over six valleys in the Southern Alps and covers two departments of France: the Alpes-Maritimes for about two-thirds of its surface, and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. The crystalline massif of the Mercantour National Park has valleys filled with the scents of the Mediterranean, Provence, the Alps and ItalyVerdon, Cians-Var, Ubaye, Tinée, Vésubie and Roya-Bévéra: each valley has its own distinct character!

Their values, their background

Une belle histoire à commencé en 2008 dans les Alpes Maritimes .

Je me suis installée dans la Vallée de la Roya avec mes deux fillettes et mes premières créations feutrées destinées aux enfants comme des chaussons, des bonnets de lutin et des personnages féeriques…

La  rencontre avec les bergers de la Vallée des Merveilles désireux de valoriser leur laine nous amènera vers de nouveaux projets.

L’activité de l’entreprise s’inscrit dans une démarche de sauvegarde de la filière laine européenne.
