Musée des machines à nourrir et courir le monde
About This Museum
Tucked away in the industrial zone of Clairvaux-les-Lacs, far from the well-trodden tourist paths, the Musée des machines à nourrir et courir le monde is a true hidden gem. This isn't a hushed hall of fine art; it's a vibrant, whirring symphony of human ingenuity dedicated to the machines that feed us and power our world. You'll find yourself captivated by the sheer mechanical beauty of objects both colossal and intricate, each with a story to tell. It’s a place that makes you look at the everyday with newfound wonder.
Collection Highlights
The collection bursts with character, from beautifully restored vintage tractors and complex threshing machines to delicate espresso makers and an entire wall of ornate coffee grinders. One standout is a massive, early 20th-century mill engine, its polished steel and brass gleaming under the lights.
Visitor Information
Given its unique location, it's wise to check their opening hours online before you make the trip. The passionate staff are what really make a visit special—they're often on hand to share fascinating stories behind the machinery.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a no-nonsense industrial shed, its unassuming exterior gives nothing away. Inside, however, it's a cathedral of industry with high ceilings and an open floor plan that lets these magnificent machines breathe.
