The Cayenne
For the companions, the Cayenne is the house, and the Cayenne of Châteauroux was one of the most important in France, with about fifty companions.
George Sand, involved in the cause of the companions, and of the workers in general, met some of them. She published a novel entitled "Le compagnon du Tour de France".
The museum...
This museum gathers a lot of know-how, those of the cabinet making, the carpentry, the stone, the cooperage...
In fact, it is indescribable, since it presents about fifty masterpieces, which are, each, incredible unique pieces.
If you want to prolong the emotion a little, while leaving, pass by the street of the station, and raise the nose to see the "guitardes"... I put you a photograph to guide you a little!
Companion museum.
