Supplier information
<p>Step back in time to the Industrial Revolution by visiting this <strong>authentic 19th-century factory</strong> , nestled in a verdant setting on the banks of the Cailly River. Unique in its kind, the Corderie Vallois is a living museum where period machines, powered by a majestic waterwheel, come to life before your very eyes.</p><p> Here, everything has been preserved in its original state, as it was at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The smell of hemp, the clatter of gears, the light filtering through the long swathes of rope being made: every detail immerses you in the atmosphere of the textile workshops of yesteryear. You can discover the different stages of rope making, from spinning to braiding, while also exploring the working conditions of the laborers of that era.</p><p> The museum, a true testament to Normandy's industrial history, also offers temporary exhibitions, guided demonstrations, and a sensitive and accessible museography for all. A sensory, technical, and human journey through <strong>one of the finest examples of our working-class heritage</strong> .</p>
