Craftsmanship is at the heart of the Tinchebray region. Since the 16th century, blacksmiths, locksmiths, wick makers, ironworkers, and nail makers have been developing their activities, benefiting from the proximity of ore deposits, large forests, and rivers. At the beginning of the 20th century, more than 2,000 workers were employed in ironworking in family businesses. Today, Tinchebray remains the hardware capital of France.    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71edf44 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"71edf44\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e25be6a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e25be6a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df71f2f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"df71f2f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d4dfe1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7d4dfe1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><em>From traditional hardware to high-end artistic hardware <\/em><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f534e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8f534e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Originally, the company manufactured various hardware items: wrought iron pieces, locks, hinges, furniture hardware, and handles of all kinds.
