Arts and crafts Le Mans

A unique place. You'll find this unlikely Atelier de l'Hippocampe in the cobbled medieval streets of the Plantagenet City. But it's not seahorses we're talking about, but birds, poetic and delicate lizards. Birds of all species perched on their metal stems. Ceramic artist Jean-Francois Doré's theme is infinite. His enchanting aviary, now on show for sale, features birds that inspire great tenderness. There are blue tits, goldfinches, owls, green woodpeckers, orioles, kingfishers and even exotic toucans who invite themselves to Le Mans. You can order your favorite bird in ceramic. Training courses.

You'd like to honor your library and give your old books a new lease on life. They deserve just as much attention as touch screens... This workshop is the right place to bring them to renovation. Antiquarian book restorer and contemporary bookbinder Michel Gourdelier has been a certified restorer, bookbinder and gilder since 1988. Whatever the age of your book, whether it's damaged, its pages damp-stained or its cover crumbling, he'll diagnose the problem and give you a quick estimate. For most books, the stains will disappear, and the cover will be repaired with respect and love for the book and the beautiful work.
