Discover precious savoir-faire in the Pyrenees-Orientales.
 

A discovery guide for the economy is edited by The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Perpignan and the P-O.
It reveals the companies possessing particular skills in the region.  All of them have decided to disclose one of their secrets … and open their doors to you.  You can discover the heart of their activity and their passion …

Open the door of the companies.
 

In their workshops, laboratories, shops or in charming family homes … takes place the mysterious process of creation, fabrication or transformation.
That it be by the skillful hands of the craftsperson, the producer, the winegrower … or thanks to the mechanical wheels of a machine …
It is always with the same fascination but also with a form of respect that we feel when faced with the expression of this knowlege, which, like a precious inheritage, is transmitted from one generation to the next.

This guide suggests visits to wine cellars and estates, companies in the food industry, unusual places, and not to be missed workshops and traditional crafts.
