About operator:

The current COVID-19 situation affects all of us, in one way or another. It is having a direct impact on us all at Maison Cailler, as the museum has to exceptionally close its doors to the public until further notice. We can only regret this situation, but we are convinced that it is only by acting together that we will be able to overcome the problem. We are already looking forward to seeing you again; we will miss you. Take good care of yourself and see you soon ! Your Maison Cailler team
