The Musée des Traditions Populaires (Museum of Popular Traditions), housed in a former school (1891), presents the daily life of the inhabitants of the Pays d'Olonne at the beginning of the 20th century, a region that is both maritime and rural.

In 6 exhibition rooms, you can discover traditional crafts, costumes and headdresses, a rural interior, the tools of the saunter, the farmer, the winegrower, the still of the distillers, a classroom and souvenirs of the 1914-1918 war.

A fun trail for children.
