Boynes, on the edge of the Beauce and the Gâtinais, owes its reputation to a local man, Louis Veuillot (1813-1883), and especially to its international and timeless saffron. Since 1998, Boyne has a Saffron Museum that is definitely worth a visit. In a former wine merchant's house, five rooms have been laid out presenting a brief, anecdotal overview of the local city's history as well as a fine presentation of the history of this area's agricultural evolution.

Saffron and winegrowing are the common themes for this journey through time, culminating in a display of the challenges facing modern day farming.

A Museum not quite like all the others.

A Museum maximising the variety of its displays and the quality of its communication that will interest to all audiences, without neglecting the educational aspects of these fascinating subjects.
