MARQUESEE ECOMUSEUM

Experience a day out of time! Board a century-old train for a unique experience at the Ecomusée de Marquèze. This is an authentic ^19th-century Landes hamlet. As the day unfolds, you'll discover the furnished houses, some of which were once inhabited by local people, attend demonstrations of local know-how and activities, and soak up the atmosphere of l'Estanquet as you share a convivial moment over salads made from vegetables grown in the Ecomusée's greenhouses and local produce. Let yourself be carried away by the charms of this unique site, created in 1969 and awarded the Musée de France label, in the heart of the Landes de Gascogne Regional Nature Park. Treasure hunts and workshops are on the program for younger visitors, to help them better understand daily life in the ^19th century. Allow at least half a day to explore the entire ecomuseum. The ticket includes the return train journey, guided and/or self-guided tours (1h) of the Marquèze district, access to the Pavilion and exhibitions, as well as participation in local activities and games. A temporary exhibition dedicated to the pictorial works of Bernard Manciet will complete your visit to the Pavillon (located opposite the Sabres train station). And there's always plenty to see and do: old-fashioned cooking, a presentation of the gardens, the arrival of the shepherd on stilts and his flock, the history of gemmage, a tour of the mill, a meeting with the spinner, etc. All the information you need is online.
