During a recent trip to Paris I took a side-trip to the town of Troyes, in Champagne.  One of the things to visit there is the Maison de l'Outil et de la Pensée Ouvrière, that is the museum of tools and works.  I've finally posted the pictures I took inside the museum, and will give just a sample here.
