The workshop-museum tells the story of the textile activity of the Périgord-Limousin, cradle of the famous Charente slipper.
First, discover the Château de Varaignes, with its towers and courtyard inspired by the Italian Renaissance.
Inside, stroll through the different rooms that bear the name of former local factories where are exposed looms, a spinning mill and its laboratory or machines to cut and sew the charentaises.
In the house of the weaver reconstituted, find the daily life of the peasant-weaver in the nineteenth century.
