La Fabrique des Savoirs

La Fabrique des Savoirs is a cultural center housed in a former factory building with a museum, archives center, and heritage documentation facility. The spaces display archaeological finds, natural history collections, and objects related to the region's industrial past.

The building was once a textile factory that played a central role in the local economy before industrial decline affected the region. After years of being unused, it was transformed and opened as a cultural center in 2010.

The museum explores how the Seine River shaped local industry and daily life, displaying objects that reveal this connection. Visitors can trace the river's importance to the city through the arranged collections.

The facility is well equipped with reading rooms and workstations for visitors who want to access archive materials. The center is easy to navigate and offers a clear layout across its different museum and archive sections.

The center houses a collection of dried plants that textile dyers once used to create black and blue dyes for fabrics. These botanical specimens reveal a hidden aspect of the textile industry that few visitors know about.
