Le Bournat - Living History Museum, Le Bugue

Le Bournat is a unique village, every day life & objects from a bygone age

featured in Theme parks Updated

A living museum that offers much more than your ordinary museum or theme park. A great day out that will take you and your family back in time to an era long ago.

Local craftsmen are on hand to demonstrate the dying arts and ancient skills of the Blacksmith, Tanner and Basket Weaver to name a few. A working farm with its ancient tools and implements, a school house with authentic furniture and toys, many of which are there to be played with, the church with its wedding in progress, the Walnut Oil Mill and the Still are all here, a whole microcosm of the French countryside as it was 100 years ago.
