Festival des Métiers
Gong highlights Festival des Métiers from Hèrmes
Hermès Benelux, part of the Euronext Paris listed Hermès (ticker symbol: RMS) organizes the Festival Des Métiers, an exhibition where the different crafts of Hermès are shown in the Hollandsche Manege in Amsterdam.
From April 1 to April 10, the French workshops of Hermès have been moved to the Hollandsche Manege in Amsterdam. The artisans will manufacture a wide selection of handmade Hermès products for 10 days.
It is no coincidence that Hermès has chosen the Hollandsche Manege as venue for the Festival des Métiers. Hermès was founded in Paris as a workshop for saddles, halters and harnesses in 1837. The magnificent building of the Hollandsche Manege houses the oldest riding school in the Netherlands, now a modern and versatile equestrian business. The Hollandsche Manege is the oldest horse riding school in The Netherlands and the history of this riding school dates all the way back to 1744.
