Musée du Paysan Gascon

The Musée du Paysan Gascon immerses you in the daily life of rural life in Armagnac. Discover the agricultural world, the cultivation of vines, the production of wine and Armagnac, and ancient trades!
Visit the workshops of the weaver, the cooper, the clog maker, the carpenter, the joiner or even the blacksmith. The brassier's house, a modest house which was used to accommodate agricultural workers, invites you to enrich your knowledge of local cob and half-timbered constructions. You will also discover the bourgeois interior of the beautiful residence from 1850: the mansion.

Discovery for some, memory for others, no one will remain indifferent to the vestiges of a past that is still close but nevertheless forgotten.

More than a conservatory of objects frozen in time, the Museum is a living place for exchanging and sharing artisanal know-how, Gascon traditions and the Occitan language. In fact, throughout the season, activities are organized, for young and old alike, in order to promote and transmit this Gascon culture.
Do you remember the sound of the hammer on the anvil, the gestures of the basket maker making his basket, the ancestral work of wool to transform the fleece? During the summer, many artisans are waiting for you to discover their profession and introduce you to workshops!
The Occitan language is also in the spotlight during the Museum's evenings: traditional tales set to music, Gascon ball, polyphony concert, etc.
We speak: English, Spanish, French
