Useful information

Location : In the countryside

  • English
    • The Papeterie de Vaux Ecomuseum is located in the town of Payzac, in the Auvézère Valley. It is on the banks of the charming stream of Belles dames, that you will discover a place with the cachet of yesteryear. This traditional stationery produced food packaging for the butcher's sector since 1861. Subsequently, artists were inspired to make some unusual sketches.

    Very small museum with clear information, available in multiple languages. We spend around 30 minutes inside (without the guided tour). A bit overpriced

    Really nice museum that shows the old papermill that used to be on this location. Lots of information, and very friendly tour guides. Close to this museum is also the old steel forge, it is a great idea to combine the visits to both locations for a very enjoyable morning or afternoon. Next to the papermill is a small restaurant (Les Délices de Rita) where you can get a great lunch for a decent price.

    It’s a lovely day out. The mill sits in a quiet valley surrounded by trees with its mill pond and tumbling water that turns the two water wheels. Nextdoor, and we’ll worth checking out for lunch is “Delice de Rita” - she does flans, cakes, wine, puddings and so on under the trees overlooking the Papeterie. In August the printworkshop at the Papeterie is often open. A team from the U.K. often helps out the local team in running linocut workshops in the courtyard of the papermill. Call them ahead for booking and info.
