The (very authentic) Museum of the Lavaud brothers
Some museums are unusual because of what they present, like the "Musée de la Pierre à Fusil", for example.
This one is unusual because of its authenticity!
Don't expect to see beautiful polished shelves, precious display cases or sophisticated lighting. No, here, everything is real, and the potato harvester still carries a little bit of the earth from the field it turned over!
The same is true of the grape crusher, the log skimmer, the apple press, the crosscutting roller, the stamper, the single-body plow... and nearly 500 other objects that bear witness to a bygone artisanal and peasant life. Each of these objects has its name on a handwritten label.
And it is in the same style of a presentation without the least artifice that you will see gathered the tools necessary to the shoemaker, the baker, the blacksmith, etc.
If you are in the area, be sure to ask around! This is not a visit to a commemorative place where carefully restored objects are presented on a theme... no, it's a leap into another era, it's snooping around in your grandfather's garage... and it's finding him!
Oh, I almost forgot... on your way out, pass by the village church where you will admire an incredible and magnificent baldachin...
