Abstract: Abstract For several centuries, economic life in the town of Millau and the Causses region was dominated by the leather and glove industries. The first leather-worker to be recorded in the archives of this town in the Aveyron département was Pierre Raymond in 1193. In addition to providing the ewes’ milk needed to produce Roquefort cheese, sheep rearing also produces leather of exceptional quality, allowing Millau to become the ‘Glove Capital’ of the world. Even today, there are a great many craftsmen and artists in the town, which has received the ‘Arts and Crafts City’ label.
