In the house where the Montgolfier brothers were born, in the heart of the Royal Manufactory, the Canson and Montgolfier Papermills Museum brings paper-making back to life from the 17th century to the present day. It's the magic of the paper being made in the old vat, the sound of the machines coming to life...

The museum is the only one in the world to display a full-size paper machine in motion.

The museum is also about the history of paper, the marvellous calculations of the Montgolfiers, the inventions of the Cansons, the paternalistic organisation and ... attentive guides to meet visitors' expectations.
