The French government has breathed new life into a proposal to create a leather museum and showroom in the town of Saint-Junien in the Haute-Vienne region of the country. 

Called the Cité du Cuir (Leather City) project, the idea was first discussed around 15 years ago. Now the government has said it will provide €600,000 available to help convert two former industrial buildings on the banks of the river Vienne into the new complex.
