In a magnificent setting, discover the Aux Anciens Commerces museum. Step back in time to the 1950s for a bit of window shopping!

From the small café to the hat shop, via the grocery shop, a wonderful journey through time awaits you! As you stroll from one shop to the next, you'll discover unusual products, brands that have now disappeared and local produce.
You'll be able to recall the tune of a song, find an object from your childhood, and above all dream and imagine.

Occasional events bring the shops to life. Meet the shopkeepers at the "3pm Rendezvous". On Wednesdays, marvel at the toys of yesteryear, on Saturdays, chat to the pharmacist, and on Sundays, the grocer will be selling her products!

In the museum shop: a wide selection of reproductions of old advertisements, books, decorative objects, local products, rose products... To top it all off, you can even enjoy a drink on the terrace!
