Why take your students?
To discover the daily lives of their ancestors, the recreated places where they used to live, the forgotten skills, the ancient trades, fairground arts and much more…
With children the museum takes on its full meaning.
Plan your visit
Guided tours are highly recommended to school groups (booking only). For a self-guided tour, the students must be accompanied by their teachers at all times. Audio-guides in French and English are available for free at the Museum’s front desk. We recommend teachers to organize a free pre-tour when possible, or an online preparation via the Museum’s website by downloading our educational material.

Testimonies
"The most lively museum!
One word – LOVE! If you don’t go and visit it and have lunch in their excellent family restaurant then you will never see what I call a REAL MUSEUM! On your own or for a family trip you will never forget"
Caroline Margeridon
"Take your children!
A museum filled with a vast collection of objects that retrace 150 years of history from 1800 to 1950. A pleasant welcome and more than 100 spaces to wander. An audio-guide and a game complement the visit and provide a captivating experience for young and old."
"A beautiful discovery!
A museum that takes us back in time for two hours! The collection of ancient objects is impressive and a game for the whole family takes us through a search for anachronistic objects all along the visit."
Corinne Boichot
