Visit and tale of a mechanical clog workshop

Immerse yourself in an authentic world at the Musée Bobant « Sabots & Contes d’Ateliers », a place where time seems suspended. Located on a remarkably well-preserved 18th-century industrial site, this museum opens the doors to a rare heritage, combining paper mills, oil mills, flour mills and mechanical clogs in an intact original setting.
