C’est le musée le plus étonnant… pour les fumeurs et non-fumeurs tant on trouve de belles et rares pièces en bois de bruyère : outre les portraits d’hommes célèbres, on découvre ceux des présidents, des personnages illustres adeptes de la pipe comme Jacques Faizant et Georges Simenon, etc.
Le film documentaire permet d’avoir un complément d’information et d’aborder le musée du diamant qui jouxte. Saint-Claude perpétue la tradition avec les ateliers de maîtres pipiers renommés qui se retrouvent dans une confrérie bien connue. Celle de la taille du diamant est plus discrète vu la concurrence internationale, mais Saint-Claude y tient bien sa place.
I went in this museum. That pipes! I did not believe in it and all styles, made of wood, same ivory, csa, long, short and more y' has which, so we said the guide, who are worth of price! It is really a museum amazing sacrament and that is really worth trying to see at least once in his life.
