History in the making! That's literally speaking. Very interesting insight into rope making and the development of the art. Probably more appropriate for teenage-plus children and us oldies. Great audio transcripts and displays. Good examples of the rope arts, great shop and some very different prezzie memories. The building is something else. The scale of it has to be seen.

Great to discover the history of the Corderie Royale, very well made introductory movie. The museum is very small and a little disappointing since the building is huge however, the exhibition is very well made with tons of details on how ship ropes were made. The bookshop is also really well made.

Rubbish place, dont waste the money. Poorly signposted as well. Satnav location is on the wrong side of the river. Staff bored and not interested. 45 minute film interesting but could have been made into half an hour. Only good thing was the audio guides, these were very good.

I had quite some expectations from the museum in this impressive building, but it is not at all worth the €18.50 entrance fee. I expected the museum to be a restored version of the old rope factory, but it is nothing like that. It is a relatively small part of the building (about a 5th) with explanation of what kinds of rope exist and how some are made. There is no large old machinery to look at and it's definitely not as impressive as the building might suggest. You're far better off spending the money on something else.

Really informative and as a person who doesn't really know french, the audio guides were super helpful. I also got a really cool bosons whistle as shown in the pictures. It also works quite well. I am not quite a master yet but I am sure that with time it will come to me.
