Papeterie Saint-Gilles

The Papeterie Saint-Gilles is an enchanting and unique site featuring a workshop where artisans produce paper using 17th-century techniques. Watch as their recipe of pulp and flower petals is transformed into paper imprinted with the unmistakable Saint-Gilles watermark, known the world over. Admire traditional and avant-garde works by renowned artists and the many objects reminding us that paper is at the heart of everyday life.
