It was here that the first ecomuseum of France was created in 1968. As you enter the permises, you get the impression that time has stopped. But of the two houses characteristic of traditional housing architecture in Ouessant, only one remains, the second having been destroyed by arson (which affected several sites on the island), in July 2017. If the ground floor and the attic were designed in a very functional way, the interior distribution appeals to the visitor: a partitioning system frees up two rooms of similar dimensions at both ends of the house. One of them, equipped with tables, benches-chests, enclosed beds and a fireplace, is the living room. The room at the other end has the same configuration but its decoration is neat and the woods are worked. It is the ceremonial room of the house, which is only used for entertaining on special occasions. Furniture, objects, engravings, photos and costumes are all testimonies to the rich hours of the island in the last century.

Facile d'accès à pied du bourg de Lampaul car très proche. Vraiment intéressant de voir comment certaines familles pouvaient vivre sur cette île et comment l'agencement était réfléchi et organisé.
Beaucoup de documents à lire et petit musée au 1er avec des costumes par exemple et le passage d'un petit film avec le témoignage de pécheurs de commerce natifs de l’Île.
