Maison de l'Artisan

Northern Atlantic Coast


This shiny new government-sponsored complex was created to preserve Azemmour's traditional crafts, and includes workshops, training rooms and space for the artisans to sell their wares. You can watch them chip away at stucco, carve wood and weld metal, then shop for well-priced leather sandals and the distinctive embroidery that's a speciality of the town.
