Musée des Papeteries Canson et Montgolfier

The museum occupies the former royal paper mill building alongside the Deûme river, featuring exhibits about paper manufacturing techniques and historical machinery.

The Montgolfier family established their paper manufacturing business in the 17th century, later passing it to the Canson family who maintained the hot air balloon logo.

The museum displays collections of paper manufacturing tools, antique machinery, and documents that showcase the development of French industrial craftsmanship through centuries.

Visitors can access guided tours in multiple languages, watch paper-making demonstrations, and participate in educational workshops about traditional manufacturing methods.

The facility houses the world's only full-size operational historical paper-making machine, demonstrating the complete manufacturing process from raw materials to finished products.
