Visit to the Corderie Royale

The tour begins with an immersive show that plunges you into the history of the Corderie Royale. Then, through workshops and interactive experiences, you'll (re)discover the building's primary function, the transformation of materials through the various stages: spinning, committing and seamanship.

Tactile manipulations, image projection, edutainment terminals, interactive games, optical theatre... A whole range of experiences awaits you to help you understand the history of the rope-making industry.
