Former sportsmen, Dieudonné and Violette created in 1996 a workshop of wrought iron work. This workshop has become a small village and its works, notably the large baobabs, mirrors and geckos, can be found in all the hotels of the country. Beyond the artistic success, the workshop is a social success: the couple has chosen to integrate the poorest people through work. They offer a new life to these families with the creation of a school and cultures on the spot.

The largest collection of precious stones in southern Madagascar. A real Ali Baba cave! André and his wife offer you a very special trip (and without obligation to buy) to the land of precious and semi-precious stones. In their secure shop, you can find morganite, pyrope, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, tourmalines, demantoids, aquamarines and green beryls and a variety of garnets typical of Mada "Imperial Malaïa"... more than 1,000 fine and precious stones from all over Madagascar, permanently cut and all guaranteed, in a clear and pleasant conditioned space. Sales with invoices of course. Jewellery mounted in 18-carat white gold, yellow gold and silver.

The Men's Lab is the landmark of the most famous photographer of the island. A place of work but also and especially a place of exhibition which allows to see Mada in the eye of the humanist photographer. One has the impression to travel all over the country and to discover the Malagasy from a new perspective. With a rare humanity and generosity, Pierrot Men is happy to discuss photography with residents and tourists. Call before coming if you want to meet him, because Pierrot Men is often on the road. We highly recommend a visit!

This gallery belongs to Pierrot Men, probably the most famous photographer of the Island. We discover here about fifty photographs. Pierrot Men is on the spot from time to time, when he is not on the road or in his main stronghold in Fianaranstsoa where you can also meet him. A visit to this gallery allows you to discover Mada through the poetic eye of the photographer, far from the tourist clichés or the miserable photos. We recommend it!

A French association that supports street children, Les enfants du Soleil is present in several cities in Madagascar where it provides them with educational support, accommodation and help with professional training. In Antsirabe, the young women of the association have started a handicraft workshop called L'art de la Soie in the Résidence des Hauts Plateaux. One can observe, buy or even order their productions, notably embroideries and paintings on silk. An opportunity to support a beautiful initiative!

A must on the cultural scene. A rock and alternative place, a breeding ground for local artists and offbeat personalities. It is at the same time a place of exhibition, residence and sale of contemporary art of Malagasy and foreign artists, a space of experiments and a musical scene where many groups and local artists come to perform every week. Between concerts, exhibitions and cultural events, Is'art has become the place to go. Relaxed and lively atmosphere, in a very bohemian and ecofriendly spirit.
