Halle des Vieux Métiers

place de la mairie, 18370 Châteaumeillant

CallDirections

The Halle des vieux métiers is an annexe of the Emile Chénon Museum (MEC) in Châteaumeillant. The nave of the Chapter House features a display evoking a 19th–20th-century village through its craftsmen and farming traditions. Following a complete refurbishment, the Halle will reopen on 3 July.

A monumental wine press, an anvil, tongs, a wood-turning lathe, gouges, a sewing machine, a flail, a millstone… let the objects in the Halle guide you as you discover the skills and challenges of traditional trades. Following a refurbishment in 2027, the Halle offers a visitor experience accessible to as many people as possible, of all ages. To round off your visit, head to the Emile Chénon Archaeology Museum, 200 metres from the Halle.
