THE TANNERIES
Guided tours of the tanneries in Maringues, to discover the tannery, the vats and the dryer.
The last tannery in Maringues closed in 1920. Since then, a number of large buildings have remained here, bearing witness to this craft. The Grandval Tannery and the Grande Tannerie can be visited on guided tours organized by the Terre Volcana tourist office. At Grandval, a megissier's workshop - specializing in the tanning of small hides (sheep, goat, etc.) - has been reconstructed. The tools on display illustrate every stage of the tanner's craft. The Grande Tannerie, dedicated to the transformation of large hides, has preserved its vats and dryer.
