Manufacture Bohin

The Manufacture Bohin combines an active needle production facility with exhibition spaces showcasing industrial machinery and manufacturing processes dating from the 19th century.

Benjamin Bohin established this needle manufacturing company in 1833, and the site expanded into a complete industrial complex through the acquisition of additional facilities in 1866.

The museum section displays the evolution of needle-making techniques, regional craftsmanship, and the textile industry's influence on Normandy's development through multiple galleries.

Visitors can observe operating historical machinery, participate in guided tours lasting two hours, and purchase authentic needles directly from the manufacturing facility.

The facility remains Europe's sole manufacturer maintaining traditional needle-making processes while incorporating modern production methods in the original 19th-century buildings.
