Thiers

The town of Thiers has been the centre for cutlery making since the medieval times, producing everything from table knives to guillotine blades, and cutlery remains its main industry today, much of it is on display in the cutlery museum, the Musée de la Coutellerie.

The town itself has 15^th and 17^th Century houses elaborately carved with wooden façades some with grinning crazed faces.
