Given the long tradition of craftsmanship in Thiers (Wikipedia reports: "The town's heyday began with the arrival of cutlery. Legend says that Auvergnatian crusaders brought this art from the Orient to Thiers. The first cutlers are documented to have settled in Thiers in the 14th century; they used the steep gradient of the Durolle River to power their blacksmith's hammers. This trade quickly brought prestige and wealth to the town."), a town twinning with Solingen (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany) would be a good fit from a thematic perspective. This town in the Bergisches Land also has a long tradition of craftsmanship in this field. This is presented in two museums.

Fantastic 🥰 a place like in the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm; you almost feel like you've been transported to another time

Wonderful valley, very idyllic and pleasant for hiking - just let your soul unwind

Beautiful, quiet valley – you almost feel like time has stood still here; simply wonderful for relaxing

Down here in the valley are the "ruins" of the old cutlery factories; over the years they had to make way for more modern production facilities...

The Grün de Chignore is a summit in the Livradois-Forez nature park that culminates at 1,074 meters. Occupied since the metal age, there is a mound with remains of a wall, as well as a more recent cross, from 1902 to be exact. The view of the foothills of the Forez is superb.

The Vallée des Rouets is quite a magical place!
