Opened in 1988 on the banks of the Charente, in the former Bardou Le Nil paper mill, which made cigarette paper until its closure in 1970. A waterwheel, pulp vats and a tall chimney bear witness to the site's activity, where the industrial papermaking of the Charente and its related industries are explored.
