The Brousses Paper Mill Manifesto

I am at the crossroads of worlds. From Asia and Europe, I weave links. I make a noble material. On which you write words of love, draw your wildest dreams. You write notes and addresses. You calligraph and stylize thoughts, visions and evocations of beautiful days past and to come.

A partir de fibres et d’eau je fabrique des matériaux qui voyagent loin et portent tes sentiments. Tu peux même créer tes propres papiers pour y loger tes beautés du monde. De la forêt, de la rivière, du recyclage de tissus, naissent des papiers. Papiers légers, papiers volants, papiers emballants. Papiers d’impression, papiers de forme.

I am a renowned production site. I am a lively place that we like to visit with family, as a couple or as a tribe. I welcome for internships and training.

I am a quality product store.

I am The Paper Mill, located in Brousses near Carcassonne, one of the last paper mills in Europe, particularly appreciated for the quality of its productions. I am the craftsman of handmade creative papers.
