Ardèche Museum of the past
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.
Every visit allows us to experience, discover and be inspired by the ingenuity of the local farmers, the hard work they put in and the creativity of their craft…
We are thus transported back to the days of cherry harvests and the bustling markets in the village square, the season of chestnuts and their famous ‘Bouïrades’,
and the long winter evenings spent gathered round the hearth…
You’ll be transported back in time by the free audio guide (30-minute tour).
A treasure hunt is available in the museum.
Your children will meet characters from the past in their everyday settings through fun displays and set off in search of their precious tools, accessories and more.
Games suitable for children aged 6 and over, accompanied by a parent.
Tickets available at the museum shop.
Open to all during the shop’s opening hours.
Guided tours are available for groups (minimum 10 people), every day from April until the Christmas holidays, by booking.
Last admission at 6.30 pm.
