The Atelier-Musée Encre & Plomb (Ink & Lead Workshop-Museum) is a place to live and work, run by professionals who use ancient printing practices combining ink and lead. Demonstrations and explanations bring this old-fashioned printing workshop back to life, allowing visitors to discover machines, fine art printing techniques and various typographic processes, while soaking up the clatter of linotypes, the hum of printing presses and the sewing machines of bookbinders.
The workshop-museum's production tools are constantly overhauled and kept in working order.

The renewed use of these techniques encourages the formulation of ancient knowledge for the use of young people, as well as the general public. This living museum bears witness to a past that finds in its history a thousand reasons to survive (various workshops and introductory courses). A short historical film illustrates the history of writing and printing.
