Given the long tradition of craftsmanship in Thiers (Wikipedia reports: "The town's heyday began with the arrival of cutlery. Legend says that Auvergnatian crusaders brought this art from the Orient to Thiers. The first cutlers are documented to have settled in Thiers in the 14th century; they used the steep gradient of the Durolle River to power their blacksmith's hammers. This trade quickly brought prestige and wealth to the town."), a town twinning with Solingen (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany) would be a good fit from a thematic perspective. This town in the Bergisches Land also has a long tradition of craftsmanship in this field. This is presented in two museums.

Touring Lake Aubusson is always a moment of timeless pleasure. The succession of refreshing undergrowth and magnificent viewpoints is simply a treat. The maintenance is always impeccable, the path is without difficulties. Accessible by mountain bike. 100% recommended! ! ! !

Down here in the valley are the "ruins" of the old cutlery factories; over the years they had to make way for more modern production facilities...
