THE CLAUDE CHAPPE MUSEUM

This is the museum of the so-called grandfather of the Internet. Claude Chappe was born on 25 December 1763 in this beautiful village. But who is this scientific figure? Just the inventor of the air telegraph. It was in 1791, in particular, that he experienced his first distance communication between Parcé-sur-Sarthe and Brulon. Many documents and models show the evolution of this new communication tool, as well as beautiful objects, such as the th-century telegraph window.
