This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Orinasukan, a traditional fabric factory. We were transported 75 years back in time! We stayed there for nearly two hours. The guided tour is exciting and includes the discovery of the workshop, the visit of several exhibition rooms and a tour of the building itself

Highlights: It was a magical experience to see the factory. "Everything is original: articulated workstations still powered by legs, threads that are prepared and assembled by hand... Just magical!" ✨
