Description

This association organises the visit of two canut homes, immersing you into the daily lives of silk workers and acquainting you with the workings of weaving looms. The municipal upholstery-ribbon workshop displays the carved walnut looms of Mme Letourneau, a master craftswoman. These looms produced ribbons for over a century. The municipal weaving workshop brings back to life a characteristic 19C family workshop, with three looms, both arm-weaving and electric.
