A complete experience combining the discovery of Normandy’s industrial heritage with a moment of relaxation by the sea.
Between a visit to the Bolbec textile museum and lunch by the sea, this program offers the perfect balance of culture, history and fun.
Particularly suited to groups, this day combines education, conviviality and a change of scenery.
Bolbec: a town steeped in textile history
Located in Normandy, Bolbec is a town whose identity is deeply linked to the textile industry. From the 18th century onwards, it became a major production center, thanks in particular to its numerous mills and the use of water to power the machines.
This industrial activity has shaped the town’s urban landscape and economic development for several centuries, making Bolbec an important part of France’s textile heritage.
The Bolbec Textile Museum: an immersion in industrial know-how
Housed in a former factory, the Bolbec Textile Museum plunges visitors into the heart of the region’s industrial history.
Run by enthusiasts, often former textile professionals, the museum reconstructs the entire production chain:
- Cotton processing
- Spinning and weaving
- Yarn and fabric manufacture
Visitors can watch vintage machines in operation, and discover the technical skills handed down from generation to generation.
In the 1960s, the gingham print, available in a range of colors, was a great success and became a symbol of Bolbécais heritage. Did you know that Brigitte Bardot wore a pink-and-white-checked gingham dress on her wedding day in 1959, made with fabric from this factory?
