Les tanneries

Entre les XVIIIème et XIX siècles, tanneurs et mégissiers utilisaient l’eau et son courant pour laver et décanter les peaux. Il y avait jusqu’à 30 tanneurs établis le long des rives de la Sienne. De nombreux séchoirs à peaux subsistent encore dans la ville. Celui-ci a fait l’objet d’une restauration.
