Arts and crafts Gap

Lucien Granoux is passionate about basketry, and has made it his profession since he retired. He makes baskets of all kinds, including the truffiaïre, a typical Champsaur basket for truffles and potatoes, the poor man's truffle. Lucien offers workshops on this ancestral technique. It's easy to learn if you're a bit handy, and a 2-day course is all you need to familiarize yourself with the different braiding stitches - double or triple acrocane, zigzag, African braiding, Gallo-Roman braiding.
