The History of Maison Maubert: A Balcony Over Thiers’ Cutlery Heritage
Majestically overlooking the famous Vallée des Usines (Valley of Factories), Maison Maubert is more than just a guesthouse: it is a privileged witness to the industrial golden age of Thiers.
A Legacy Signed by Charles Maubert
Built in the 1920s, our residence was designed and constructed by the renowned cutler Charles Maubert. By choosing to anchor his home on the city’s heights, he sought to marry the elegance of a master’s residence with an unobstructed view of his own workshop and those of his peers. Staying with us means diving into the private history of a family that shaped the legacy of Thiers cutlery.
A Spectacular View of the Vallée des Usines
From our windows, the sight is breathtaking. Maison Maubert offers one of the most photographed panoramas in the region: a magnificent view of the Usine du May. This jewel of industrial architecture, set on the banks of the Durolle, reveals itself to you in all its glory, especially at sunset when the stone walls light up.
Between Medieval Town and Wild Nature
Ideally located on the heights, our guesthouse allows you to overlook the rocky chaos of the valley while remaining just a few minutes’ walk from the historic streets. It is the perfect base for architecture enthusiasts, photographers, and travelers seeking authentic accommodation in Thiers.
