Come visit the authentic village museum from the heart of Protestant Poitou.

Discover the guides waiting for you to make you revive the daily life of our farmers from the 19th century, leading your steps through the 7 rooms of a priory of the 15th century.

Each object comes alive and sends you into the life of the olden days : from the peasant interior to the traditional basketry, from the bakery to the stable and its soil tools up to the laundry barn and its exhibition on the work of hemp...

The last room stores up all the wealth and diversity of traditional headdresses and costumes, proud witnesses of our heritage waiting for you to discover.

Continue your visit by walking along the priory and its washing houses, family cemeteries across the fields, its temple... You'll reveal the intense identity of this Huguenot village land.
