This museum offers the public an immersion in the equally unknown and extraordinary world of lacemaking.

Charles Marie France

On 3 cistus it's been 2 times wooden door the schedules are to be reviewed! We have done 150 km for nothing and we are a group of lacemakers who are doubly interested. We won't be coming back. Angry lace makers

    Hello We are sorry for these inconveniences. We will pass on your remark to the lace museum but we remind you that as indicated in the schedules above, the museum is open on weekends in May, June and September. On the other hand, for groups, visits are possible all year round by appointment. If necessary, do not hesitate to come back to us. Sincerely, The team of the Maison du Tourisme

Christine Miller - 4 / 5

even if one is not necessarily attracted by lace, this museum is surprising, between the classics very well exhibited or to be looked at in drawers that it is allowed to open, and the completely unexpected lace exhibitions. The video montages of explanations are very useful too.
