Nearly 2,500 visitors per year
Installed in the premises of the tourist office of Blain, the museum receives a lot of people in this period of the new year. It must be said that the galette des rois is no stranger to it. “We see all the generations coming“according to Stéphanie Briand-Viaud, the person in charge and the guide of the museum.”Young people, adults and elders, there is no age to love beans and to collect them“. And it is true that fabophiles have something to enjoy with such a collection.
