Naturalist and manufacturing museum showing the stages in the transformation of silk in artisanal production.

This museum reveals the stages in the transformation of silk, from the silkworm to the fabric, highlighting the artisanal nature of production in this industry that has left its mark on the region. A children's area features small looms and silkworms for close observation. Exhibitions, a store and workshops will satisfy your curiosity. To complete your visit, take the Carré de Soie (Silk Square) trails, four interpretation trails telling the story of silk in the Cévennes, in various communes of the Cévennes Piedmont.

Musée de la soie St Hippolyte du Fort
Toutes les filatures ont fermé dans les Cévennes, mais le musée de la soie de St Hippolyte du Fort conserve et expose tout le savoir faire dans une reconstitution plus vrai que nature avec même des vers à soie (bombyx) vivants que l’on peut observer. Intéressante boutique présentant des ouvrages réalisés par des artisans locaux.

Un petit musée qui permet de découvrir l'activité de manufacture de ver à soie qui faisait vivre la région jusqu'au début du XXe siècle. A compter du mois de mars il est possible de voir les cocons de ver à soie se développer. Très instructif pour les enfants. Ce musée sans prétention permet par la même occasion de découvrir le charmant petit village de Saint Huppolyte du Fort.
