La Filature de Belvès

Welcome to the Belvès wool mill

Located at the foot of the village of Belvès classified as one of France's "most beautiful villages", in a former mill in the Nauze valley, with its impressive engine room, the Belvès woolen mill bears witness to Périgord's industrial heritage.

Vintage Escape Game: a spinning investigation

Our machines are at a standstill. But do you know why? We have 6 employees, and we suspect that one of them has dismantled an essential part of the machines! They've been working with us for a long time, so we think the culprit has a good reason, but what is it?
We're waiting for you to solve the case at the spinning mill!

The store:

The boutique offers a wide range of wool yarns in a variety of origins and colors, as well as local handicrafts and felt items produced by our machine: caps, potholders, oven gloves, phone and glasses pouches. But also DIY kits to make your own little bag or Cosy for the teapot. There's no shortage of ideas. You'll also find a selection of books and toys.
