The Musee de la Contrefaçon gives visitors the opportunity to train their eye and practise their judgment by comparing originals and copies displayed here side by side. More than 350 items are exhibited : toys, pens, clothes, tools, toiletries, luxury goods,etc. The exhibits demonstrate the extent industries are affected by counterfeit. Founded in 1951, a manufacturers' association fighting this phenomenon, reminds us of a war which started with the creation of the first designer labels.
