Sculptors, copper- and wrought-iron workers and cabinet-makers are among the sixty or so artists and artisans who have signed up to a quality charter and whose workshops can be found along a specially created Arts and Crafts Route. This \u201croute of artisans and artists\u2019 leads past the studios and workshops of about 60 artists and craftsmen, including sculptors, coppersmiths, blacksmiths and carpenters, whose work meets strict quality requirements. Visit the charming village of Meyrals\u00a0between Sarlat and Saint Cyprien and wander around many fabulous art studios. Browse or buy and take away a piece of the Dordogne and \u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0memories with you.<\/p>\n<p>From pottery to glass blowing or boutique soap to stained glass making you will find a wealth of local people and artisans engaged in a variety of handmade arts and crafts.<br \/>There is something for everyone. Come and browse and shop from our local artists. This vibrant sector of the local Dordogne Valley economy is buzzing with a mix of the traditional and innovation and you may find the perfect gift or souvenir to take back home. Most are open all year and you can meet the artists in their workshops.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, for the lovers of antique and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.info-brocantes.com\/dep-Dordogne.html\">flea markets<\/a>, the so called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vide-greniers.org\/24-Dordogne\">Vide grenier<\/a> (literally attic cleanups) are held from late March to early December every weekend<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15243,"parent":11954,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-blank.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13198","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lesmagnolias-perigord.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lesmagnolias-perigord.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lesmagnolias-perigord.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesmagnolias-perigord.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesmagnolias-perigord.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13198"}],"version-history":[{"count":30,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesmagnolias-perigord.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13198\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17419,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesmagnolias-perigord.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13198\/revisions\/17419"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesmagnolias-perigord.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11954"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesmagnolias-perigord.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lesmagnolias-perigord.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
