La Villa Perrusson et son jardin - Écomusée Creusot Montceau

Built between 1869 and 1895, the Villa Perrusson is the symbol of the success of the Perrusson-Desfontaines family, entrepreneurs of tiles and architectural ceramics. It comprises two adjoining pavilions decorated with polychrome ceramics. This villa is an exceptional testimony to local industrial history. Its architecture and remarkable decorative features make it a unique piece of heritage in the Burgundy region. The rehabilitated landscaped grounds of this splendid manor house include an orangery and a pond, in the style of English gardens.
