In the heart of the Arts-et-Métiers district, the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers guards a remarkable heritage. Once a medieval priory transformed into a temple of science and technology, the site houses the original Foucault pendulum, Vaucanson’s automata, Clément Ader’s airplane, and a stunning Gothic library.
