Musée Autrefois

The museum is situated in the heart of the Navarre working city, in the former retailer which had been built so as to answer to the workers' needs.

Among the many richness of the museum, one can see a cinema projector which dates back to 1914, tools which used to belong to several different building trades such as the leather trade, cobbling, gloves making, including the “main de fer” invented by Xavier Jouvin, as well as everyday life objects, craftsmanship, schools and the former associative life.

This fascinating museum, abundantly supplied by the inhabitants' gifts, is a rich testimony of the story of Champ sur Drac and the Navarre paper mill. A real industrial saga which cannot be dissociated from the village's story.
