4 good reasons to marvel at Mouzeil
Where history meets art
Mouzeil is like a living museum where the industrial past is proudly on display! In the past, coal was mined and lime was produced here, and the remains at the Château de Cop Choux are a proud testimony to this.
But Mouzeil hasn't been stuck in time: it's now got a new lease of life, with the Parc de sculptures monumentales by artist Lambert and the frescoes by Nantes-based collective 100 Pression, which have taken over the walls of public buildings and schools. Mouzeil is also home to Harpes Camac, the only French company to have been making harps for more than 50 years, combining traditional know-how with musical innovation - a real local gem that makes art resonate on an international level! The result? An explosive mix of history and modernity, giving Mouzeil a cultural identity as rich as a good chocolate!
