One-of-a-kind reconstruction of an "argue" making gold and silver thread like in the 17th century. Based on diagrams in the Grande Encyclopédie, the machine is 7m long, 3.5m high and works perfectly.

Trévoux, the capital of a once independent Principality, specialised in weaving gold and silver thread. The Privais association hosts demonstrations throughout the year for groups available to book at Tourist Information.
