You will discover the history of linen. Since ancient times, linen has been cultivated in Europe, especially our region. It is sowed between March 15^th and April 15^th thanks to right weather conditions. This plant gives an ephemeral fine blue flowering in June and then is transformed to become a very appreciated ecological and naturally occurring fibre.

During your visit you will learn and understand how linen is cultivated and transformed. A video will show you all secrets of this extraordinary plant from which are extracted many by-products which can contribute to your well being or   prevent cardiovascular illnesses.
