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.

What to expect
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.
