What's new: shops and services
A L'ATELIER DES POMPES: Artisan Shoemaking in Les Houches
A native of the Chamonix valley, Célia Lachamp opened her artisan shoemaking workshop last December in the heart of Les Houches.
At L’Atelier des Pompes, Célia is committed to preserving a craft that is disappearing. With passion, she works on antique machines, "which already have a soul," to give a second life to your items. She offers a variety of services: shoe repairs, belt making, other leather goods, key duplication, and much more.
This new multi-service offering is particularly appreciated by locals and visitors alike, who no longer need to travel miles to get spare keys or have their mountain shoes re-soled. More and more clients are entrusting her with the repair of their climbing shoes. "I didn't have the opportunity to practice on this type of shoe during my training, but I work instinctively, and I am thrilled with this new challenge," Célia shares.
Opening Hours:
Tuesday to Friday, from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM and from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, and Saturday morning.
Address: 595, Avenue des Alpages – 74310 LES HOUCHES
