This small, fully renovated museum traces the lives of the people of Ardèche in days gone by. Let yourself be guided through a thousand and one objects that recount the history of the Hautes Cévennes region of Ardèche. Treasure hunt for children aged 6 and over. 45 minutes to 1 hour for a self-guided tour.

Each visit brings us to life, allowing us to discover and marvel at the ingenuity of its farmers, the strength of their labour and the creativity of their work...
We relive the days of cherries and large markets in the village square, the days of chestnuts and their famous ‘Bouïrades’,
the long winter evenings spent gathered around the hearth...
You will be transported back in time by the free audio guided tour (45-minute tour).
