About the location

Musée du Cuir et de la Tannerie
105 Rue de la République 37110 Château-Renault
  • Indre-et-Loire
  • Centre-Val de Loire
This tannery founded in 1597 by master tanners Peltereau was one of the largest factories of the «Leather City» after its boom taken in the early nineteenth century with the production of leather with soles. Auguste Peltereau and his wife Marie-Célestine Peltereau will develop the activity of this plant renowned for the quality of its leathers tanned with oak bark according to traditional methods (tanning without extracts, with long stay in pits). Its activity ceased in 1978, becoming in 1985 the Museum of Leather and Tannery. In a monumental and preserved setting, visitors have access to eight rooms presenting the production chain of a leather, in the heart of the structures of the old factory (tanks, basins, pelains, workshops, dryers), in the exceptional atmosphere of a site inscribed since 2004 to the additional inventory of historical monuments.
