Located in an old mill in the Nauze Valley, the Filature and its impressive machine room bear witness to the industrial past of the Périgord. Follow in the footsteps of the workers and visit the spinning mill through demonstrations, interactive exhibitions and films. Trace the production process from the raw sheep fleece and discover all the stages and machines used to obtain the finished product. During the holidays, make your own object out of wool felt. New: Vintage Escape Game: Immerse yourself in the working life of the 1950s and rediscover what marked this golden age of the spinning mill. Investigate and take up the challenge with your family or friends! The spinning mill is also: a place where wool felt is produced, a place for courses all year round, and a wool shop.
