Creating babouches with a Master in his workshop

In Tunisia, babouches are not just a memory: it is an ancestral know-how that disappears. Here, you don't just buy a pair. You get your hands on leather alongside a real maâlem (master craftsman), in his workshop with the ochre walls of the medina. What makes the experience unique: · A privileged hour – no express demonstration, you learn to sew, assemble and understand precise gestures passed down for generations. · Create with his hands – you leave with a babouche that you have worked yourself. · A timeless moment – mint tea, the smell of natural leather, and the artisan who tells you the secrets of henna or indigo dyes. · Comfort included – we take care of everything: Check-out and return to your Inn, stress-free in the alleys. Treat yourself to more than a workshop: a living encounter with the artisanal soul of Tunisia. Book this authentic bracket.

Conduct of the activity Inn pick-up (flexible hours) Our driver will meet you at your Inn reception for a private transfer to the medina. The ride is an opportunity to get a first glimpse of the busy alleyways. At home – immersion in a traditional workshop (1 hour) You push the door of a centuries-old workshop where leather and natural glue embalm. In this authentic decor, noise of the alenas and tapping of the hammer, the malem (master craftsman) awaits you. · Presentation of gestures: It shows you the key steps – cutting goat or cow leather, natural dyeing, point-by-point assembly. · Practice: Under his guidance, you put on the hemp yarn, hold the arena and perform a simple sewing or mounting a flange. You leave with a souvenir babouche made with him. · Exchange and mint tea: The artisan answers your questions about the secrets of this threatened know-how, before offering you a glass of tea. Back to the Inn The driver will pick you up at the exit of the workshop to bring you back to your Inn.
