Day 4: Museum of Books and Printing and Soierie Vivante

Both of the tours we participated in today Were informative and so cool! Every time we visit a new site Involving past technologies I can't help but to appreciate the luxuries and advancements we have today. The most interesting thing I learned however from the printing museum was that during times of war paper became scarce and the French resorted to using wood fibers, potatoes, or even horse manure! Gross!

    I agree, both of the sites were fun to go to. The Books and Printing place really did have a lot of interesting facts, and in my opinion the most interesting.
