It is installed in the room of Jeu de Paume, old outbuilding of the castle of the Glassmaking built between 1908 and 1910, and which sheltered a covered tennis court formerly. Fully renovated in 2015, the room of Jeu de Paume, presents to the public a very new scenography. It discovers the industrial adventure of Creusot there, while starting with the two great reliefs plans of the city and its factories realized for the World Fair of 1900. Models testify to the great achievements left the workshops creusotins and illustrate all know-how of the factories. The industry of today and the dynamism of the local companies are evoked by various rooms currently produced. The visit is done using a tactile shelf which comes to enrich the course by its contents (videos, games, entertainments 3D, increased reality). A film shown on giant screen punctuates the whole.

This is an authentic medieval mill whose first written records date back to 1486! It has been restored to water for about twenty years and has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1996. Miller and baker tell you with passion how flour is made on millstones: wheat, buckwheat and corn flour. To your choice! You then witness the production of natural sourdough breads, cakes and shortbreads baked in a wood-fired oven. So many good things available in the shop! A word of advice to gourmets: the mill also offers courses to learn how to make bread or brioche, with various formulas, especially for families, all in a very preserved setting. The mill continues to grow. A new room has been renovated to house a former turning mill and the arrival (in working order) of a 19th century threshing machine.
