L’Artisan du Temps Watch Museum and Workshop


L’Artisan du Temps
Watch Museum and Workshop

Alain Le Floch and his wife invite you to share their passion for watchmaking on a visit to the heart of time.

L’Artisan du Temps stands inside a magnificent sixteenth-century building. First stop is the workshop, where the watchmaker busies himself to a chorus of tick-tocks. Mechanical movements from the simplest to the most complicated are brought back to life by his expert hand.

The visit continues in the museum with a collection of watches and clocks, including numerous masterpieces, driven by ancient and sophisticated movements. Visitors can also discover the tools watchmakers use. A film rounds off this journey into the heart of time.
