La Scourtinerie, Nyons
Traditional mat-making museum - the only one of its kind in France
Originally founded in 1882, this family run business making traditional Scourtins survives to this day.
As well as being a museum you can visit the workshops where they make the mats and also buy some of the products in the shop.
They have a wheel loom from 1892 in the middle of the room with old tools and models for you to look at.
Formerly used as mats in the oil pressing process, the grandfather of the family realised that people could use them as floor mats and so a new product and new life was breathed into them.
Free entry.
