PINGOUIN

Creative leisure

Ideally located near the tourist office, under the arcades of the Place Duroc, the small Penguin shop is worth a look! Large red letters on a retro blue background: the tone is set for a kitsch front as you wish! Don't pay attention to the dolls displayed in the window, here it's the wool that counts. And there are even thousands of them, since there are nearly 1,075 lockers full of balls of wool! Established for 50 years in Pont-à-Mousson, Madame Pingouin, whose real name is Marthe Adrian, has remained faithful to the Katia brand. In her colourful shop, she has seen many generations of people... Today, she has noticed a renewed interest in knitting, which is now very much in vogue among the younger generation. What better way to clear her mind and satisfy her creative desires? You will find here a rainbow of wool in all colours. Madame Pingouin also sells tights and socks. Something to satisfy all seasonal shopping for knitwear, handmade and homemade products, which are more than ever in vogue.
