Musee de l'Imprimerie
If you’ve ever wondered how and where a book is made, then Musee de l'Imprimerie is a must-see. Follow the history of printing from its early days in the 15th century all the way to the present. The power of ideas is preserved for future generations on paper with ink, so it’s only right to pay homage in a French city with a long history of the art of bookmaking. Lyon was the center of the book trade in the 15th and 16th centuries and still holds a vast collection of antique books, some of which you’ll see on display at this museum. For travelers who use our custom trip planner, Nantes holidays become easier to arrange, with trips to the Musee de l'Imprimerie and other attractions mapped out and timetabled.
