Canceled | Guided tour: Leather in Pont-Audemer, a whole history!
"The visit seeks the tools and resources visible in the heritage and allowing to grasp the evolution of the manufacture of tanned skins in Pont-Audemer, from the 11th century to the first and second Industrial Revolution which will be at the heart of the historical links from the heritage. I will start from the urban plan composed of parallel streets and canals, diversions and mills From the workshop of which there remains a dryer in a courtyard of the old Rue Laitière in Doult Vitran, from the Renaissance stained glass windows of the church st-Ouen to a tannery of the 17th Rue ND du Pré, where the leather market was located, from the cartouche to the initials of master tanner and municipal officer Charles Boursy, to portraits of the family of tanners specialized in sole leather and the location of tanneries, pits and varnish on Place de Gaulle, it is also social change that will be addressed."
