The City of Lyon has officially expanded its "Fabriqué à Lyon et ses alentours" (Made in Lyon and its surroundings) label, announcing 74 new products selected for the 2027 promotion. This latest addition brings the total number of products carrying the prestigious local recognition to 274.
Promoting Local Craftsmanship
The label was established to champion artisans, entrepreneurs, and creators based within a 20-kilometer radius of Place Bellecour. To qualify, companies must demonstrate not only their local production site but also a commitment to specific savoir-faire and responsible resource management.
The 274 currently labeled products are categorized into four primary sectors:
- Decoration and Artistic Craftsmanship: 113 references
- Fashion and Accessories: 90 products
- Food: 43 products
- Manufactured Goods: 28 products
Among the new companies receiving the label are Tizu, Délices des Sens, Pépin, Karen Chocolat, and ASBA Drums. For these small businesses, the label serves as a vital tool for differentiation in a market increasingly driven by consumer interest in local origins and production.
Jury Awards Special Distinction
In addition to the standard label, a jury recognized four companies for their excellence in specific categories:
- ASBA Drums: Awarded in the manufactured goods category for their drums and snare drums produced entirely in Lyon’s 7th arrondissement.
- La Ligne Virtuose: Recognized in the decoration and craft category for furniture created by employees of an ESAT (Establishment and Service for Assistance through Work).
- Madame des Feuillants: Honored for jewelry and accessories made from upcycled materials.
- Plantes et Pains: Received the award in the food category for a vinegar crafted from nettle bread.
By highlighting such a diverse range of products-from chocolate and acoustic drums to furniture and fashion accessories-the City of Lyon aims to showcase the breadth of its local manufacturing sector. The initiative provides significant visibility to small artisanal structures, proving that Lyon’s industrial and creative identity extends far beyond traditional crafts.
