Heritage

Musée des Métiers de la Chaussure

In a former factory, discover the world of shoes, the emblem and flagship product of the Mauges region between Nantes and Cholet, and 25 km from the Puy du Fou.

Description

Discover the secrets of the shoe trade. In this former factory, you'll learn all about traditional shoe-making through the clog-maker and shoemaker trades, as well as about the industry thanks to the machines, some of which are hundreds of years old and still in operation. Interactive terminals along the way will give you all the key information you need for a self-guided tour. Keep the kids entertained with an interactive game to follow in the footsteps of Sam, the museum's mascot. PERMANENT EXHIBITION To accompany visitors on their tour of the museum, there are interactive terminals along the way, enabling young and old alike to discover the secrets of shoe-making in a fun way (investigation trail and sensory manipulations / terminals translated into English and German).
