a moment of useless etymology
the french word cordonnier (=shoemaker) comes from the spanish word cordouan (=fine leather) which comes from Córdoba (famous for high quality leather in the middle ages)
funny, but shoemaker in spanish is zapatero and calzolaio in italian.
sometimes romance langs really dont wanna help ya out.
