Angèle Mac-Auliffe, daughter of the first doctor of Cilaos, introduced the young girls of the circus to embroidery. Today, the Maison's president, Suzanne Maillot, Meilleur Ouvrière de France, continues the tradition. Exhibited in the style of the great galleries, you'll find household and table linens. The tour explains the "jours" technique, handed down through the generations, and the time needed to complete the work. It takes three months to make a one-meter table throw. You can also meet the embroiderers. A warm welcome awaits you.

Exlusif
Un savoir faire incroyable qui vous laissera indéniablement sans voix de par sa finesse et la relative rapidité d'execution. Un travail d'orfèvre qui mérite d'être connus mais en perdition. Un détour inattendu et pour le moins insolite qui se marie au charme du lieu

Un savoir-faire unique
La technique de la broderie de tradition de Cilaos vit grâce à des femmes passionnées qui se sont transmis les tours de main nécessaires à la création de ces superbes œuvres d’art. On admirera leur dextérité, leur patience et les motifs déclinés sur de nombreux supports. Même si les prix semblent être élevés, ils tiennent compte des heures de travail minutieux de ces artistes qui perpétuent un savoir-faire unique à La Réunion.

Si vous avez le courage d'aller jusqu'à Cilaos, alors arrêtez vous pour admirer ces broderies. Des livres sur ces broderies se trouvent dans les bonnes librairies de la Réunion.
