In Bugey, the museum's collections tell the daily life of the inhabitants, on the banks of the Albarine from 1850 to 1950. Film, soundscapes, life stories recreate the atmosphere of the mountain villages and industrial towns of this valley.
The Schappe room, the name of the spinning mills in the valley, relates the history of textiles: hemp, silk, artificial and synthetic fibres.
Fine toiletries and beautiful finery await coquettish and elegant at Le Bon Marché, the replica of a boutique of yesteryear.
And why not end your visit with a tasting of local products?
