About Musee 1900
Add to favoritesA Time Machine Born from the all-consuming passion of a collector, this private museum houses over 3,500 authentic objects that tell the story of daily life during the Belle Époque. Located in a former 18th-century oil mill, the experience immerses you in a unique atmosphere where each room is meticulously staged: from a bygone grocery store to a 1900s classroom, and even a garage filled with vintage vehicles. It's not just an exhibition; it's a complete immersion in the comfort (or discomfort) and aesthetics of our great-grandparents. A Paradise of Antique Mechanics The museum is particularly distinguished by its collection of vehicles and agricultural machinery. Visitors can admire horse-drawn carriages, early velocipedes, gleaming tractors, and vintage fire engines. The place's originality also lies in its automata and barrel organs which, with a turn of the crank, bring back to life the music of the open-air cafes. It's a teeming place, a bit of an organized "joyful bazaar," where every nook and cranny holds a forgotten invention or a childhood memory.
Tip for an even more exceptional visit.
Take the time to read the anecdotes: The owner has sprinkled the museum with little notes and explanations, often tinged with humor. They give the objects a soul and help us understand uses that seem completely ludicrous to us today. Enjoy the period games: The museum offers areas with antique wooden games. It's the perfect opportunity to take a fun break and test your skills, whether you're with children or simply with other adults seeking a touch of nostalgia.
