Le Mas Vinaigre
In the land of the Grands Causses, in Aveyron, the "Mas de Vinaigre" is the production, testing and marketing unit of the Gaston Mercier saddlery.
It lies a few kilometers north of the Millau Viaduct, in the commune of Saint-Léons, at the junction of the Causse Rouge and the Lévézou plateau.
Le Mas has been owned by the Mercier family since 1977. This former 14th-century farmhouse boasts facilities dedicated to their passion for horses.
The Showroom
Members of the Gaston Mercier team welcome you all year round to our showroom. Here you'll find our range of saddles and equipment for horse and rider.
Once on site, you'll also have the chance to take a behind-the-scenes look at our workshop and production team. This is where our saddles are made, in a way the beating heart of Mas de Vinaigre. From the cutting of the leather to the assembly of the components, our team works with the precision of a goldsmith and the highest standards of quality. Our employees carry out a draconian selection of leathers to ensure that your saddle is a product of excellence, like a unique object that needs to be perfected.
Our workshop
All our accessories are made in our workshop: an artisanal unit working in the tradition of saddlery and leatherwork. Our pommels are made by a company based in the Lot region, and our leathers, of bovine origin, are tanned in Aveyron.
All our products are 100% regional. Having been, like Gaston, a European long-distance champion, doesn't prevent us from favoring short circuits!
