THE MUSEUM OF LAPIDARY
Go there and contact
Museum offering a guided tour and demonstration of original lapidary tools and techniques
Here, explanations and demonstrations are fascinating, and we enter a totally unsuspected world: that of gemstone cutting. In the 18th century, local people began cutting rubies for Swiss watchmakers to supplement their income as farmers during the winters. The guided tour recounts the eventful history of this activity. A demonstration shows the original tools and techniques. A video featuring testimonials from former lapidary craftsmen provides further details of this expertise.

Les connaissances du personnel pendant la visite guidée est vraiment un plus. On en apprend beaucoup sur les lapidaires et le matériel utilisé. Petit jeu pour les enfants avec un belle surprise à la fin, nos filles de 3 et 5 ans étaient ravi!
