Destination Overview

Discover the rich textile heritage of France, celebrated vividly in the Alsace region, where the art of textiles and patchwork comes alive. This picturesque area famously hosts the annual Carrefour Européen du Patchwork, a vibrant showcase of fabric and design. Historical buildings, village halls and places of worship are turned into galleries exhibiting over 1,000 textile works of art, supplied by local and international artists and collectors. Also in the stunning Alsace region is the city of Mulhouse, renowned for its rich textile heritage. Here, the golden age of the textile industry, from the first factories to the industrial boom, transformed the city to what you see today. 

The beautiful landscapes of France create a perfect backdrop for a crafting holiday that stitches together cultural exploration with creative expression. So, what are you waiting for? Browse below and say bonjour to an amazing craft experience...
