Moulins, the Capital of the Dukes of Bourbon, is a thousand year old city. In Moulins, take the time to stroll along the Allier, the river that runs through the city and offers a chance to discover a unique fauna and flora. The Centre National du Costume de Scène et de la Scènographie de Moulins (National Stage Costume and Scenography Centre) houses an exceptional collection of 8,500 theatre, opera and ballet costumes as well as painted canvas scenery. In the great tradition of Moulins earthenware, a visit to Dominique Lapendry's workshop is a must. He shapes and decorates his pieces by hand using the ancient motifs of Moulins earthenware.
