Looking back on the Réseau Excellence PACA & Corsica General Assembly 18 June 2026

On the 18th of June this year, the members of the PACA & Corse AREPV met at Tuilerie Bossy, in Gardanne, in the Bouches-du-Rhône, for their Annual General Assembly meeting.  

Welcomed by Daniel Bossy and Thierry Gibernon, master craftsman of Garde Temps Horlogerie, the participants discovered an emblematic place where several artisans bring their expertise to life and share.

Following the usual administrative matters, the discussion livened up around the topics of craftsmanship-based tourism and industrial tourism, thanks to an insightful presentation by Fanny Nadeau, Director of the Gardanne Tourist Office.

We then had the pleasure of visiting several artisan workshops that bring this unique site to life—a wonderful opportunity to discover trades and techniques that deserve greater recognition.

The morning ended in conviviality, around a delicious cocktail.

A big thank you to the Member companies for their presence and loyalty.
