The Musee du Compagnonnage or the Guild Museum is a municipal museum in Tours that is located in cloisters of the 13th century abbey of Saint Julian. The collection in this museum is dedicated to the Compagnonnage (Companions of the Tour de France), which was an apprenticeship-cum-trade-union system dating back from the Middle Ages. The must-see exhibits at the museum are:

  • A variety of historical and contemporary craft items.
  • Rare documents.
  • Prestigious projects related to the Companions of the Tour de France.

These exhibits reflect the brilliant skills and craftsmanship of the artisans of the guild. However, all the information and the explanations inside the museum are written in French, hence it becomes difficult to understand the history behind the artefacts if you do not have a grasp of the language.

You can also buy many books on the Companionship and the trade guilds, postcards and souvenirs from the gift shop located inside the museum.
