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.

A city of incredible streets: Steep and rich in heritage. The medieval and industrious atmosphere makes this Auvergne city quite unique.

Spectacular, the Valley of Factories is a pleasant way to climb to the summit of Thiers while avoiding main road traffic. The richness of the industrial heritage is remarkable.

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...

Local curiosities from the Middle Ages deserve a mention: the “Peddes”, which in Thiers designate an inhabited passage connecting two medieval houses.

Thiers is especially known for its cutlery production and a visit to the cutlery museum is an absolute MUST. In fact, Thiers has been a master of cutlery making since the 16th century.

From Place Chastel you have a beautiful view of the mountains of the city; there are some benches where you can enjoy the view and relax.
