ATELIER DE CHARRON

Wheelwright's workshop
The house houses a wheelwright's and cooper's workshop created in 189O and electrified from 1922 onwards. It is in a perfect state of preservation, with numerous and complete tools. This wheel and barrel workshop gives an idea of what life was like in a small craft workshop in the first part of the 19th century, and what working conditions were like: noise, safety and hard labor. It has not been altered since 1976, when the wheelwright died, and remains in perfect working order. The former owners have also preserved all correspondence and account books from the company's beginnings, making this workshop a rare and almost unique example of a wheelwright's workshop.
Work is planned to restore the site, see the Fondation du Patrimoine website.
