Thiers (Puy-de-Dôme) mini guide
Situated North of Ambert, Thiers is best known as France's main manufacturer of knives and accounts for some seventy percent of all French production.
Built on the slopes of the valley of the Durolle river Thiers has used the river water to drive the forges and blade-makers' wheels for centuries and along the deep valley bottom the location of the old workshops can be made out. There is a knife museum, the Maison des Couteliers which is worth a visit.
