Musée européen d'art campanaire

The Musée Campanaire occupies a former nineteenth-century market hall, featuring six exhibition spaces across two floors dedicated to bell-related artifacts.

The Carillon de la Bastille, originating from the historic fortress in Paris, serves as the central piece among the museum's thousand-piece collection.

The museum displays bells, carillons, and percussion instruments from five continents, representing four millennia of bell-making traditions and techniques.

The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 12 PM and 2 PM to 6 PM, with adult admission at 4.50 euros.

The museum houses an intricate clock mechanism with four animated figures created by master clockmaker Chenet-Blondin during the mid-19th century.
