Saint-Junien: Aérodrome de Saint-Junien
Few towns in Nouvelle-Aquitaine have a past as closely bound to glove-making as Saint-Junien. Set on the Vienne in western Haute-Vienne, the town became a major French centre for leatherwork and fine gloves, a craft that remains integral to its identity. The Aérodrome de Saint-Junien stands amid the low wooded and agricultural countryside around the town, serving local light aviation with paved operating areas and grass surrounds. In the centre, the Romanesque collegiate church of Saint-Junien recalls the settlement’s older religious roots. This is a quiet part of the former Limousin where an enduring craft tradition meets the rural Vienne valley.
