A great place for the whole family to immerse ourselves in village life at the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th century. The collection is exceptional, and the scenography is a real success - you'll feel like you're there! The explanations are accessible and comprehensive. The children really enjoyed the treasure hunt to find Lucien the café owner's killer. The icing on the cake is the friendly, attentive welcome!

Great experience. Very friendly welcome. The museum is well organized. The collection is presented in a very creative way, and the atmosphere is enhanced by audio at certain scenes. You transition from one experience to another. Highly suitable for children, but also for adults who want to experience a bygone era where everything was different. Highly recommended!

Superb museum, very well structured and explained, a feast for the eyes. Very nostalgic and highly educational for young people. A true treat! I highly recommend it! I have visited several museums and this one is one of the best. The entrance fee is affordable (5€) and there is also a souvenir shop available. The staff provides perfect service. Don't hesitate to go! Plan for about two hours because it is immense!! Kudos to the organizers.
