Musée industriel de la Corderie Vallois

The museum displays original English and French machinery for rope production, powered by a water wheel in a 19th-century factory building.

Jules Vallois established this rope-making facility after relocating from Saint-Martin-du-Vivier due to water supply changes in Rouen during the industrial era.

The museum received the prestigious 'Musée de France' designation, demonstrating its significance in preserving regional manufacturing traditions and industrial techniques.

Located at 185 Route de Dieppe, the museum offers wheelchair accessibility and welcomes more than 11,000 visitors annually under Métropole Rouen Normandie management.

The facility operated continuously until 1978, and now functions as France's first industrial museum, featuring demonstrations of historical rope-making processes.
