ARCHES paper was born in the Vosges in 1492 and continues to be made there to this day. This production “Made in France” is an integral part of the societal concerns of the Arches mill. ARCHES favours local employment and aims to perpetuate the transmission of know-how and skills specific to the papermaking industry. This is also one of the factors that helped it to win the prestigious EPV label (Living Heritage Company).
