WOOD MUSEUM
The Musée du Bois, a sawmill on the water, presents a beautiful collection of old tools and machines on the trades of wood and forestry. The highlight of the exhibition is the "Haut-Fer", a vertical saw in perfect working order. Hydraulic power drives a bucket wheel, 4.20 m in diameter, which drives the "Haut-Fer".
Visits are guided, commented and illustrated with demonstrations by erudite guides.
