Visite guidée "Histoire et techniques de la presse"

Who was Théophraste Renaudot ? What is an almanac? What was the first game printed in a newspaper? When was the first feminist periodical published? Why does Le Canard Enchaîné bear its name? How does a rotary press work ?

Between history and history of techniques, knowledge and know-how, this tour answers these questions, but not only. Accompanied by a museum mediator, discover or rediscover newspapers in all their forms: generalist daily or specialized magazine, local circulation or national title.

Finally, discover the secrets of the machines that have printed and still print our newspapers, from the linotype in charge of the production of lead characters to the offset presses of more than a hundred meters long.
