Dive into the world of shoe manufacturing in Romans, the historic footwear capital. The footwear industry experienced a sharp decline in our city at the end of the 20th century, but the opening of the City of Footwear marks a true revival of the sector. Opened since May 2019, this unique place in France brings together visitable workshops and a shoe shop.
The visit to this place is based on several highlights:
* The presentation and reminder of the close link between footwear and our city, from the establishment of tanneries to the decline of this mono-industry and its consequences, passing through the great era of luxury footwear;
* The presentation of the Cité de la Chaussure, its genesis, its stakes and its strong ambitions, especially in terms of jobs;
* The visit of the production workshops and the discovery of the multiple stages of manufacturing a «real shoe of Romans»;
* The discovery of our shop, a true showcase of Romanesque know-how;
