The Musée d'Histoire de la Vie Quotidienne is a must-see in Petit-Caux. Housed in the Maison Mercier, the oldest house in the commune, this social museum is the brainchild of Bernard Defoy, a former mayor. It invites you on a journey through time. Here, you'll discover the history of the municipality's inhabitants. The MHVQ also presents various aspects of French daily life from the late 19th century to the present day. With its rich collection of over a thousand objects, you'll learn more about local agriculture, crafts, industry and commerce. What's more, you'll discover more about the social, cultural and domestic life of the French at the time. During a visit to this address, you're sure to notice the Vendeuvre tractor manufactured in Dieppe in 1955 and the Monart-Jouloulac delivery truck from 1955. These objects testify to the ingenuity and creativity of the period. At the MHVQ, you'll also see an interesting collection of mechanical musical instruments. There are also impressive printing machines, Amstrad computers from the 1980s, and work and party clothes from the 1920s to the 1970s. The house also features thematic temporary exhibitions such as "Dressing for Sport, 1880-1930" and "The Milkmaid and the Milk Jar". Various workshops are also on the program. After your visit, take a stroll through the boutique. You'll find a range of objects representative of the museum's collections, as well as a selection of handicrafts and local products. A relaxation area and baby high chair are also available on site. A must-see address!
