Go there and contact
Visit the Barthélémy-Thimonnier museum in Amplepuis, featuring a succession of temporary exhibitions.
The town pays tribute to Barthélemy Thimonnier, born in L'Arbresle in 1793 and inventor of the sewing machine. He died in Amplepuis in poverty, hated by textile workers convinced that his invention would reduce them to unemployment. Over 800m2 of exhibition space, visitors can discover the first sewing machines and travel through history right up to "sewing computers". The museum also traces the history of the cycle. Temporary exhibitions are held throughout the year.
