Angoulême Paper Museum, Paper museum in Angoulême, France.
The museum occupies the former Lacroix paper mills along the banks of the Charente River, with water flowing through parts of the building's ground floor.
The industrial facility produced cigarette paper under the brand 'Le Nil' until 1972, when operations ceased and the building transformed into a museum in 1988.
The permanent exhibition 'Charente Confluences' presents five sections about river industry, paper production, site history, image valley, and mill workers' stories.
Visitors can access the museum through a mobile application, participate in treasure hunts, and benefit from free entry on the first Sunday of each month.
Original mechanical elements remain visible throughout the building, including water wheels, valves, and pulp vats from the manufacturing period.
