Atelier Tuffery
We arrived in Florac by chance during our Cevennes drifts, when we were looking to settle in the region. After a coffee on the terrace to enjoy the local atmosphere, we naturally, almost instinctively, headed for Atelier Tuffery, as if we were drawn to this company whose values we share.
Atelier Tuffery is the story of four generations of master cutters, which began at the end of the 19th century. At that time, Célestin wanted to create a work garment for the workers who were building the railway. He bought 100% cotton fabric in Nîmes, dyed it with indigo and made trousers with a reputation for being functional and robust, which gave rise to the French jean. His son Alphonse understood the potential of Nîmes fabric, which would become denim, and made Tuffery the oldest jeans factory in France.
Today, Julien, Célestin's great-grandson, and his wife Myriam have turned the family business into a company that honours French know-how and respects the requirements of ecological, sustainable, socially and humanly responsible production.
We are proud to be an official partner of Atelier Tuffery. We'll be serving your breakfasts with Les Terrasses aprons in Tuffery denim, and we'll be inviting you to read in the shade of the arcades, in our garden room revamped in the colours of our favourite master tailors.
