Musée des Lapidaires

A discovery of a surprising and mysterious trade practiced by the men and women of the Haut-Jura since the 18th century.
At first complementary to agriculture, this activity carried out on the farm then gave rise to the creation of specialised workshops. Today, a handful of lapidary craftsmen still work for the greatest jewellers.
Winter snow, the sound of grinding wheels, the hardness and beauty of stones, the art of cutting, the enchantment of rubies, sapphires, emeralds and other fine stones... a demanding know-how tamed by the inhabitants of the Haut-Jura
The Museum pays tribute to these generations of craftsmen of brilliance and colour.
