JEMA 2025: the Moulin Rouge cabaret opens its workshop doors to us

Heritage gardener, carpenter, master glassmaker, sculptor and stonecutter, mosaic artist, decorative painter, jeweller, model maker... More than 280 professions are included in the official list of"métiers d'art": important and respectable occupations requiring exceptional skills.

These artisans contribute to French culture through their creations and their work. Now that's something to dream about! And what if you could meet these very special people? That's the idea behind the Journées européennes des Métiers d'art ( JEMA), which celebrates its 19th edition from March 31 to April 6, 2025.

This annual event gives us the opportunity to visit different workshops, cultural and heritage sites, and to talk to the craftspeople who work there.
