Are you sure you want to perform this action?
Opinel has been turning knife making into a way of life since 1890.
At Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, nearly 700m² are dedicated to the story of the famous Savoie knife invented by Joseph Opinel. Through permanent and temporary exhibitions, our free museum invites you to discover the great events that have made our brand what it is today.
Our museum is suitable for all ages, with fun material to support children's trips and brochures translated into foreign languages.
Take a trip into town to snap a picture next to the two giant monuments in the shape of Opinel knives which are located in the middle of a roundabout and at a skate park.
