In the Nontron area, even if we do not have a Kinfe Festival or the Iron and Forge Festival in Etouars this year, we maintain the link with the cutlery manufacturer artists and the world of the cutlery industry!
“The arts and crafts summer in Nontron” will be marked by a key moment around the universe of the knife from August 3rd to August 8th.
