About
The 'maison de maître', also called 'the Huguenot house' dates from the beginning of the 18th century. The old silk mill is a graceful construction, enhanced by the wide arches of the breakfast room. The actual rooms of the museum are set up in what were once the magnaneries (rooms for cultivating silk worms). A group of buildings dating from the 15th century shelters a traditional bread oven. Access is gained via a narrow passage decorated with flying buttresses.
