Musée de la Métallurgie Ardennaise
The museum is housed in a former industrial building, facing the rocks of the Four Sons of Aymon.
The visit begins with a video of testimonials from metalworkers, who recount their career path, their know-how and their attachment to the profession despite difficult working conditions.
It continues with a presentation of the evolution of techniques, from artisanal workshops to industrial installations, illustrated in particular by the reconstruction of a nail maker's workshop.
