Paper-making mill & museum in the pretty village of Couze-et-Saint-Front

featured in Sights & sites

In the paper-making village of Couze-et-Saint-Front, this traditional mill still makes paper by hand.

It houses a small museum on the history of paper-making and watermarks and offers organised tours and workshops on paper-making. The guide will tell you the history and show you the steps in the manufacture of paper through the various rooms and various mechanisms of the mill (models, paddle wheel, cylinder machine ... ). Then it's your turn, just press the paddle wheel and learn a skill by making your own paper!

There is a lovely shop selling their paper products and handmade products from recycled paper.
