A diversified industrial history...
When we say Vierzon, we think of the Vierzon Museum, and, of course, we think of porcelain and tractors.
Porcelain, with the manufactures of Foëcy, 10 kilometers from Vierzon, and whose creation goes back to 1799. It is the only porcelain factory with the "Origine France Garantie" label, awarded on the basis of quality, reliability and know-how... and, with Pillivuyt in Mehun-sur-Yèvre, it has the "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" label.
Tractors, with the Société Française de Matériel Agricole et Industriel, created in 1847, and which became Société Française de Vierzon.
And the locomotives? Yes, they are justified in the title of the article, since the museum also presents a unique collection of posters, tools, objects, retracing 150 years of railway history in Vierzon!
This rather unusual, and very interesting diversity, gathered in one place, covers the industrial history of the region in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is presented in a remarkable industrial site, the former factory of the Société Française de Vierzon, on 1000 m².
Real life testimonies...
If you wish to go a little further in the discovery of the industrial memory of the city of Vierzon, I would like to point out to you a very interesting university work, which takes the form of an Internet portal intended to share the words of former workers, employees, bosses, in addition to a hundred hours of films. I give you the Internet address at the bottom of the article.
