Pavillon de l'Industrie is a center of interpretation on the industry of Creusot. 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 site houses a museum in the heart of a barge. We will understand the life of the footballers, their equipment and their entire activity.

Amateur of old mechanics, this museum is made for you! Originally, this museum was the dream of the Association Le Chaudron, which aimed to present its collections within a museum, in order to make them discover them to as many people as possible. In 1993, after five years of construction, the museum finally opened its doors. Since then, it has welcomed thousands of visitors in a 1,500 ^m2 space divided into three parts. Most of the museum is used to display steam engines, cars and trucks from rural life. The second is used as a miniature shop and documentation centre. Finally, a specific place is dedicated to the maintenance and, above all, to the restoration of rare pieces, which can sometimes exceed a hundred years old.

In the Mâcon competition of 1874, Emile Puzenat was awarded a first prize for an invention that would greatly facilitate the work of the fields: La En, Mr Puzenat will have at his disposal, a few years later, the creation of another revolutionary tool: horse rake. Thus, this museum presents an industrial retrospective of the Puzenat plant from 1882 to 1956 which revolutionized the farming world by facilitating the work of farmers. An exhibition complemented by many wooden tools of the time (over 400 transplanted).

Following the screening of a film retracing the history of the club, which was founded in 1918, visitors can now discover its refurbished backstage area, with memories of every player who has played there (from Basile Boli to Eric Cantona, Djibril Cissé and many others), as well as its coaches and presidents (especially Guy Roux, of course!). Not to mention trophies such as the very first Coupe de France, in 1994. The icing on the cake is that you can even walk through the famous tunnel and sit right on the edge of the pitch!
