About
Prepare to travel back in time to discover everyday life, obscure beliefs and trades of yesteryear.
In July 2023, the museum was awarded the “Patrimoine d’Île-de-France” (Heritage of the Île-de-France Region) label, a fine recognition of its status as a “Patrimoine d’intérêt Régional” (Heritage of Regional Interest)!
Learn and imagine the life of our great-grandparents through 103 life-size recreated scenes reconstituted over 3,500 m².
Discover a unique collection in France of more than 70,000 items, including tools, objects, vehicles and clothing…
From the farm to the city, visit the fire station, the laundress washer, the witch’s lair, the clog maker’s workshop or even an old-fashioned dentist’s office that will certainly inspire an appreciation for today’s techniques!
Make it an intergenerational visit to experience it as a family. Discover something new or remember how it used to be!
