Musée du Compagnonnage
Information:
The Musée - Librairie du Compagnonnage traces the history of French trade guilds from the Middle Ages to today. It houses tools, photographs, documents and other artifacts belonging to diverse associations of skilled craftsmen in fields such as carpentry, cabinetmaking, masonry, plumbing, ironworks, pastry, cooking, etc. Skilled craftsmen have toured France since medieval times acquiring knowledge from their predecessors, and to become a master themselves they must create a "chef d'œuvre" which is judged by a college of masters; the museum houses some remarkable pieces from each field.
