Retrace more than 100 years of know-how, between tradition and innovation, it is the bet of this exhibition that will allow you to discover all the secrets of the Moutet House!
Far from being a long, quiet river, the Moutet saga is as unpredictable as the Gave that flows near its factory…
Who could have predicted that, by buying a fabric store in Orthez in 1874, Jean-Baptiste Moutet, from a family of Béarnais farmers, would give birth to a dynasty of weavers whose business is now in the hands of the 5th generation? That George would industrialize the production and contribute to the creation of the famous Basque linen? That Jacques would create an ultra-modern factory that would become one of the first French linen productions? That Catherine would revive the company from the ashes after the crisis and collaborate with major international designers? That Benjamin would make the bet of youth and innovation? An exciting story that, the day after the 100th anniversary of the industrialization of production, will have no secrets for you after visiting this exhibition tracing the 1001 lives of the Moutet House!
