Museum that traces the entire process of leather production, with tools and machines of the time as witnesses.

In the 16th century, with its many waterways, Touraine was the ideal place to set up a tannery. Since 1985, the museum has been evoking the days when Château-Renault was known as the "City of Leather". In the 19th century, there were some twenty tanneries in the area. We retrace the entire leather-making process, using tools and machines from the era as witnesses. Learn about the techniques involved by joining one of the workshops, open to children and adults alike.
