Le Creux de L'Enfer, also known as The Hollow of Hell, is a site with a rich history. It was once home to factories powered by the La Durolle river, where knives were made under harsh working conditions. Today, it has been transformed into a contemporary art center and cultural exhibition space. Nearby, the Bois Noirs forest offers stunning mountainous landscapes for hiking and mountain biking. Visitors can embark on the challenging 15.
(Translated by Google) A must, it's dizzying and as much for the history as the 👀, and to access it on foot from the old town it's 🥵😬. Go through the rue du 4 September, there are steps, a piece of advice, don't go there with complainers 🤣. A free art exhibition space, right next door, cutlery, tapas bar, it's quite pleasant. Thiers is truly an atypical city 😍 (Original) Un incontournable, c'est vertigineux et autant, pour l'histoire que les 👀, et pour y accéder à pied de la vieille ville c'est 🥵😬. Passer par la rue du 4 septembre, il y a des marches, un conseil , ne pas y aller avec des râleurs 🤣. Un lieu d'exposition d'art gratuit, juste à côté, coutellerie, bar à tapas, c'est plutôt agréable . Thiers est vraiment une ville atypiquement 😍

(Translated by Google) A timeless place, a mix of industrial wasteland and modern, developed spaces, such as a museum and an art gallery. A walk that takes you back in time to the era when the valley's factories were operating at full capacity. A lovely little stroll and some great photos to be taken. (Original) Un endroit hors du temps, mélange de friche industrielle et de lieux aménagés et modernes, comme un musée et une galerie d'art. Une promenade qui permet de remonter le temps jusqu'à l'époque où les usines de la vallée fonctionnaient à plein régime. Une jolie petite balade et de belles photos à faire.

(Translated by Google) The Hollow of Hell... it was hell when the knife industries existed with their extreme working conditions, but now these old rehabilitated buildings offer you museums and even a very original restoration in an old factory! A visit is essential if you pass through Thiers! (Original) Le Creux de l'Enfer.... c'était l'enfer lorsque les industries du couteau existaient avec leurs conditions de travail extrêmes, mais maintenant ces anciens bâtiments réhabilités vous proposent des musées et même une restauration très originale dans une ancienne usine !

(Translated by Google) The building's renovation is truly well done. The outdoor installations are worth a visit. The works inside aren't all outstanding... but everyone can form their own opinion. Overall, it's a lovely place offering a pleasant stroll with helpful and welcoming staff... (Original) La rénovation du bâtiment est vraiment bien faites.

(Translated by Google) The art center was unfortunately closed for construction until 2024, so it was not possible to visit, but from the outside it is a suggestive place to see the former abandoned knife factories of Thiers. Too bad that the metal walkway on the bridge was rusty and therefore unsafe (but this is also part of the charm of the place). Recommended for those who are fascinated by abandoned places. (Original) Il centro d'arte sfortunatamente era chiuso per lavori fino al 2024, quindi non è stato possibile visitarlo, ma da fuori è un posto suggestivo dove poter vedere le ex fabbriche abbandonate di coltelli di Thiers. Peccato che la passerella di metallo sul ponte fosse arrugginita e quindi poco sicura (ma fa parte anche questo del fascino del posto). Consigliato per chi è affascinato dai luoghi abbandonati.

The Musée de la Coutellerie, also known as the Cutlery Museum, is a must-visit in Thiers. It showcases a collection of 700 knives and blades crafted in the city over five centuries. Visitors can explore workshops and demonstrations highlighting how Thiers produces over 70% of France's cutlery. The museum offers an informative experience, including a short film, exhibits of locally made knives, and a captivating sound and light show on blade forging.
Great experience and very informative for both kids and adults. We learnt a lot about traditional knife-making and evolution over the centuries. The museum is split in two parts and you can enjoy demonstrations of different techniques. Some of the pieces are unique. The tour was guided and we had lots of fun. The guide tried to connect and make the experience interesting.
José C — Google review
This is only for the French speakers. This is made up of 2 buildings. One speaks about history of the region, city and its evolution. 2nd building talks about how the knives were made in earlier days ascompared to today. Includes a light & sound show.
Arvind Y — Google review
Two part visit starting with a short film and then various rooms exhibiting knives made in Thiers. This is followed by part II which is held in a different location (about 40 metres away) where there is a sound and light show of forging blades and concludes with a demonstration and explanation of the shaping, sharpening and polishing of blades. All in all, a thoroughly entertaining and informative visit.

Luc H — Google review
Interesting museum in two parts. The first building (No.23) on the aptly named Rue de la Coutellerie, focuses on 800 years of knife-making in Thiers. The second building (No. 58) has workshop demonstrations of cutlery-making skills and more galleries displaying the range of utensils, from professional knives (surgical utensils, gardeners’ knives, marine knives, vintners’ knives, electricians’ knives) to scissors & gadget knives (with lighters, rulers, thermometers & pens incorporated), all made in Thiers over the years. I've written about Thiers in Mechtraveller.

The Vallée des Rouets is a delightful location to explore, where one can discover the historical mills with wheels that line a section of the Durolle river. It is essential to have certain equipment before visiting this scenic spot. Additionally, it serves as an excellent opportunity to witness Thiers' ancient forging techniques and connect with nature. The small trek through the area provides an immersive experience, showcasing not only the last operational mill but also the remnants of other mills.
(Translated by Google) A valley that's actually a gorge about 100 meters deep, at the bottom of which remain about 30 ruins of spinning wheels. These buildings were used to "put the blade to the edge" on a millstone made of red Vosges sandstone, walled by a water wheel. This valley is open year-round, free of charge, for trails, dog leashes, and drinking water points. The Friends of Thiernois Heritage Association offers free tours of this valley outside of the Cutlery Museum's opening hours and in the off-season upon request. The "Chez Lyonnet" spinning wheel is open from July to August, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Hiking equipment and sturdy footwear are recommended, as the slope is steep. (Original) Vallée qui est en fait une gorge d'environ 100 m de profondeur au fond de laquelle subsiste une 30 aine de ruines de rouets. Ces bâtiments servaient a " mettre la lame au tranchant" sur une meule de grès rouge des Vosges, mur par une roue à aube. Cette vallée est visitable toute l'année gratuitement pour les sentiers, chien laisse, points d'eau potable. L'association des amis du patrimoine Thiernois vous fait visiter gratuitement cette vallée en dehors des horaires du musée de la coutellerie et en hors saison sur demande. Le rouet de " chez lyonnet" est visitable juillet/août 14h/18h Équipement de randonnée et bonnes chaussures conseillé, forte déclivité

(Translated by Google) Only take the left part of the trail marked 1 to 10. Unfortunately, there are also unmarked trails down here, but you'll find the most important ones. To see trails 11 to 18, you have to walk quite a long way down; then you'll actually see an old building, then it goes back up again, with a sign warning of danger. I turned back... (Original) Nehmen Sie nur den linken Teil des Weges der Nummern 1 bis 10. Leider gibt es hier unten auch Wege, die nicht bezeichnet sind, aber man findet das Wichtigste. Um die Nummern 11 bis 18 zu sehen, müssen Sie sehr weit laufen nach unten, dann kommt tatsächlich ein altes Gebäude, dann geht es wieder hoch, ein Schild ahnt vor Gefahr. Ich bin umgekehrt...

Église Saint-Symphorien du Moutier is a small Romanesque church that has stood the test of time, with its origins dating back to the 6th century. Rebuilt in the 10th and 11th centuries, it was affiliated with a nearby Benedictine abbey and later handed over to Cluny. The church was remodeled in the 19th century but still retains its Romanesque style and impressive capitals.
(Translated by Google) The founding date of the abbey of Saint-Symphorien du Moutier is not known, which usually dates back to the 6th century. In 1011 it was handed over to Cluny, and from then on the temple was rebuilt in Romanesque style, with the magnificent capitals that it still preserves. The church was renovated on several occasions, receiving various additions, although its current form dates back to the end of the 19th century, when, being semi-ruinous, it was decided to amputate the apse, part of the naves and some chapel, reducing it almost by half. Despite this, and its poor exterior appearance, its interior retains its majesty, with magnificent Romanesque capitals and a very successful polychrome that allow us to get a certain idea of ​​the glories of a great Cluniac house like this one in San Sinforiano. The same can be said of the successful reconstruction of the apse - perhaps the purists disagree in this opinion - on the left wall of which the keystone of the vault of the disappeared chapel of Saint Anthony was placed, with the arms of William of Montboissier, abbot of Moutier at the beginning of the 16th century. (Original) De la abadía de Saint-Symphorien du Moutier no se conoce la fecha de fundación, que suele remontarse al siglo VI. En 1011 fue entregada a Cluny, siendo a partir de entonces cuando fue reedificado el templo en estilo románico, con los magníficos capiteles que todavía conserva. La iglesia fue reformada en varias ocasiones, recibiendo diversos añadidos, si bien su forma actual data de finales del XIX, cuando, al estar semirruinosa, se decide amputarle el ábside, parte de las naves y alguna capilla, reduciéndola casi a la mitad. A pesar de ello, y de su pobre aspecto exterior, su interior conserva su majestad, con unos magníficos capiteles románicos y una muy conseguida policromía que permiten hacerse cierta idea de las glorias de una gran casa cluniacense como esta de San Sinforiano. Lo mismo puede decirse de la acertada reconstrucción del ábside –tal vez en esta opinión disientan los puristas–, en cuya pared izquierda fue colocada la clave de la bóveda de la desaparecida capilla de San Antonio, con las armas de Guillermo de Montboissier, abad de Moutier a principios del siglo XVI.

Meat selection is decent. Tripe acceptable. Cafeteria desserts. Drinks are very reasonably priced. It could be at the weekday price, but at almost €25 (weekend rate), it's excessive. I also have some doubts about some very (too) complimentary reviews from profiles who have only written one review... (Original) Essayé en octobre 2018, un samedi, donc au tarif weekend.

(Translated by Google) Nothing extraordinary, poorly seasoned or not at all. The food is too simple, unworthy of a restaurant. The meat is poorly cooked. The waitress is quickly overwhelmed even though there is almost no one there. If you are thirsty, bring your own bottle. Dishes are removed from the buffet very quickly, and the owners complain if you arrive too late! (Original) Rien d'extraordinaire, pas ou mal assaisonné. Cuisine trop simple, indigne d'un restaurant.

(Translated by Google) We had contracted with this company in 2024 for the maintenance of a 2000m² plot (mowing, shrub trimming, and weeding a driveway). After a year, we were dissatisfied with the quality of the work and the irregularity of the mowing. The company retained us (and asked us to withdraw the previous review) promising improvement. Well, we were very wrong! Between the beginning of April and the beginning of June, we only had one mowing, which resulted in significant damage: burst gutters, broken flower pots, a ripped compost bin, and damaged heat pump cable. The gutters were repaired, but for the rest, we were promised a goodwill gesture, which, like the May mowing, never arrived... (Original) Nous avions contracté avec cette société en 2024 pour l’entretien d’un terrain de 2000m2 (tonte, taille des arbustes et désherbage d’une allée). Après un an nous n’étions pas satisfaits de la qualité du travail fait et de l’irrégularité des passages. La société nous a retenu (et nous a demandé de retirer l’avis précédent) en nous promettant une amélioration. Et bien nous avons eu bien tort ! Entre début avril et début juin nous n’avons eu qu’une seule tonte qui s’est accompagnée de dégâts importants : chêneaux éclatés, pots de fleur cassés, composteur éventré, câble de pompe à chaleur abîmés. Les chêneaux ont été réparés mais pour le reste on nous a promis une geste commercial qui comme le tonte de mai n’est jamais arrivé…

As you meander through the charming, narrow cobbled streets adorned with picturesque half-timbered houses, your journey leads you to the stunning Château du Pirou. This magnificent mansion, constructed in 1410 for the Duke of Bourbon, has been beautifully restored and now serves as a vibrant hub for tourism and art exhibitions. Nestled in Thiers, known as the capital of knives, this enchanting location offers not only a glimpse into history but also breathtaking views that enhance its allure.

Nestled in the heart of Normandy, Pirou Castle is a charming 12th-century fortress steeped in local legend and history. According to folklore, its besieged inhabitants transformed into geese to evade Viking invaders—a whimsical tale that adds character to this picturesque site. The castle underwent significant renovations in the 17th century, enhancing its beauty and allure.
Well worth a visit. Guided tours in French but was given an English guide book to take along on our self guided tour which was quite nice. You can easily spend an hour and half here in the morning and have enough time to linger and read all the info plaques. A similar tapestry to the Bayeux Tapestry is housed here and is just as lovely.
Renee I — Google review
It's a beautiful little castle. Its history is very interesting and you can get a brochure describing it in a lot of different languages (not just French, which is very helpful). It's the only castle we've visited in Normandy where you can go inside and see a lot of the rooms that have been restored and you can even walk on the castle walls. Entrance fee is 7€ per person, but they use it for the restauration.

A wonderful moated 12th century castle, restored this century from a ruin. €7 closed Tuesday. Most of the castle is accessible, living rooms, kitchen, cider press etc. The towers and roof have great views. The old lodgings give a good feeling of how it was to live here. Amazing tapestry (in the style of Bayeaux) shows the history of the castle and its fortunes and fall. Definitely worth a visit.

Pretty chateau well worth a visit, we spent about 1.5hrs there on a rainy morning exploring the castle, we did the battlements walk twice as the kids loved the tricky spiral staircases and being up on top of the castle. The staff were welcoming and gave us an information sheet in English explaining the history of the castle. The facilities are quite basic, no cafe but a little gift shop, not great if you have any mobility problems.

Eigentlich schlägt unser Herz für die alten Rosen und wir staunen immer wieder wie wunderschön vielfältig sie präsentiert werden können. Für uns nebenbei spannend war das Spalierobst. Es war eine wahre Freude. Leider war die Zeit zu kurz. Der Garten ist sehr zu empfehlen, für jemanden der historische Gartenanlagen liebt.

Not worth the drive. Beautiful outside but gardens aren't that nice and its impossible to know if it's open or closed
Kaz B — Google review
(Translated by Google) The architecture of this castle is very, very beautiful. Only, it cannot be visited. You can see the park, half of which is a simple field. Fortunately, a pretty little chapel, with its stained glass windows kindly commented on by the chatelaine, can be admired. Ah, I forgot the so-called Japanese garden, non-existent. In short, when you leave, you have the unpleasant feeling of having been taken for pigeons. (Original) L'architecture de ce château est très, très belle. Seulement, il ne se visite pas. Vous pouvez voir le parc qui pour la moitié, se résume à un simple champ. Heureusement, une jolie petite chapelle, avec ses vitraux commentés aimablement par la châtelaine, peut être admirée. Ah, j'oubliais le sois-disant jardin japonais, inexistant. Bref, à la sortie, vous avez la désagréable sensation d'avoir été pris pour des pigeons.

(Translated by Google) Athletics track that many cities could be jealous of. In tartan, with all official markings, 6 lane track for the 400m lap and 8 lanes for the 100m. A very good chance to have such an installation in Thiers, even if it is only to do its "ranges" for the very modest long-distance runner that I am. Thanks to the city of Thiers for this infrastructure. (Original) Piste d'athlétisme dont bien des villes pourraient être jalouses. En tartan, avec tous les marquages officiels, piste 6 couloirs pour le tour de 400m et 8 couloirs pour le 100m. Une très grande chance d'avoir une telle installation à Thiers, même si ce n'est que pour faire ses "gammes" pour le très modeste coureur de fond que je suis. Merci à la ville de Thiers pour cette infrastructure.

(Translated by Google) Sports complex with a main stadium and all the amenities, however the other annexed fields do not even have a bench, we spend the entire match standing, not easy for people with reduced mobility.. Rugby and football, but also races and other.. (Original) Complexe sportif avec un stade principal et toutes les commodités, en revanche les autres terrains annexes n'ont même pas de banc, on passe tout le match debout, pas simple pour les personnes à mobilité réduite.. Rugby et foot, mais aussi courses et autre..

(Translated by Google) Stadium reserved for football and rugby with a beautiful athletics track. Old grandstand capable of holding just over 800 people. Lawn renovated following damage caused by the heatwave. (Original) Stade réservé au foot et au rugby avec une belle piste d athlétisme. Tribune ancienne pouvant contenir un peu plus de 800 personnes.

Catholic church
(Translated by Google) The magnificence of Romanesque art in rural Auvergne. It's one of my homes. Beauty has no religion, you just have to take it where you see it, where you hear it, where it is. With this little gem, this is what happens every time, even in the worst moments. (Original) La magnificence de l'art roman en milieu rural auvergnat. C'est un de mes chez moi. La beauté n'a pas de religion, il faut juste à la prendre là où on la voit où on entend, là où elle est. Avec ce petit joyau c'est ce qui se produit à chaque fois même dans les pires moments.

(Translated by Google) A magnificent panorama. The climb to the virgin crosses the village which is very beautiful and picturesque. However, you must find out about opening hours to access the interior. But the exterior is well worth the detour alone. (Original) Un panorama magnifique. La montée à la vierge traverse le village qui est très beau et pittoresque. Par contre il faut se renseigner sur les heures d'ouverture pour accéder à l'intérieur.
