Artisans in Normandy are carrying on the traditional practice of lacemaking that dates back to the Renaissance. Shedding the dusty image of decorative doilies, the Bayeux Conservatory of Lace has rejuvenated the art through creative workshops and a boutique – proving just how modern lace can be.
Bayeux, like many towns in the north west of France, is renowned for its lacemaking, a craft kept alive thanks to a group of artisans who run the Conservatory of Lacemaking (Conservatoire de la Dentelle de Bayeux).
