Dans les coulisses de l'industrie : Manufacture Perrin
Located in Montceau-les-Mines since 1924, Manufacture Perrin is one of the last remaining representatives of the French hosiery tradition. On a guided tour of the company, you can see the workshops in operation, and all the stages involved in making a pair of socks or tights: from the supplies shop, through creation, knitting, pairing, etc., to finishing and dispatch.
At the end of the tour, you can visit a shop where you can buy the factory's products at factory prices, as well as a selection of "made in France" products.
Because of the noise in the workshops, children under 3 are not allowed on the tour.
Reservations required from Creusot Montceau Tourisme.
Registration only online or at the reception desk of the Montceau-les-Mines and Creusot Tourist Office.
