Things to see and do

By visiting the museum Hoof Buironfosse you will find a wonderful collection of 556 shoes from around the world, and can also see or review the manufacture of shoe.

Because this shoe museum is primarily a living museum! The tour is run by a friendly team of volunteers who draw you into the museum.

Several rooms make up the visit of the shoe museum Buironfosse: the room of the collection, the engine room or the dining iconography, old tools of the cobbler. Outside, adjacent to the museum Hoof, a beautiful Thiérache barn houses the theater of automata.
