A manufacture:
Enter the last factory of sewing needles and pins still in activity in France, exceptionally the doors of our manufacture will open to discover our historical buildings, in which we manufacture our needles and pins since 1866. Then discover the 27 steps necessary to manufacture our needles during a guided tour of our production workshops.
Then go on a self-guided tour to discover our temporary exhibition of 400 m 2:
"Artextures & Co: Les Nouvelles Voies du Patchwork", in partnership with France Patchwork. More than an exhibition, it is a true exploration of the multiple facets of patchwork and contemporary textile art, combining ancestral know-how and innovative artistic expression.
Then, the contemporary museum:
Travel through time with themed spaces combining technical heritage and human adventures. From the history of pins and needles to the great stages of Norman industrialization, not to mention the visionary saga of Benjamin Bohin and his family.
