France
Genod is in fact a separate and very old branch of the French Comoy’s tradition that remained in St Claude while the company was migrated, sold to a new owner, and merged. The oldest French Comoy’s workshop was named Comoy-David and only in the 1970s it was renamed to Genod.
We already represented the Genod Lajoux pipe some time ago, today’s one continues this “local knowledge” tradition. La Burdine is an alpine chalet in the Jura mountains, France. Located in the town of Lajoux. As far as we can judge from pictures it’s really one of the most picturesque places you may imagine.
