Atelier de confection de Cales à Diairi
In June 1991, the Pays de Montbéliard Tourist Office brought the diairi back into fashion by creating beading workshops. It was an immediate success.
Today, the câlières (embroiderers of câles à diairi), are still nearly 50, working to promote this local heritage. In addition to the diairis, the câlières have created a whole range of articles that enrich the tourist office shop: frames, boxes, dolls, etc. They are also specialists in the restoration of old headdresses.
The diairi workshops are open to all on Tuesdays from 2pm to 4pm in the hall on the ground floor of the Centre Culturel Simone Veil in Montbéliard.
