Located in Sabres in the heart of the déparment Landes, this open-air museum was opened in 1970 and was among the first of these types of museums in France. Its aim is to conserve, study and transmit the heritage of the Grande Lande by recreating the life of its inhabitants in the 19th century. A recreated and safeguarded heritage site, the Ecomusée displays the everyday life of farmers and herders that lived in and cultivated the area some 150 years ago. Many of the unique buildings in this museum were transferred from the surrounding area, recreating a typical settlement in the Landes in the 19th century. The museum itself is very extensive and designed with attention to details. Apart from tours, visitors can also take part in workshops and daily events. I have visited the Écomusée several times over the past years and absolutely enjoyed it! The train ride to and from the museum is especially nice. The prices are acceptable given the time one can spend in the museum and the amount of things to see and discover. Be sure to arrive before noon so you have enough time to discover the whole site!

The Museum itself is beautiful. However the map is super confusing and many roads are not marked on the map. My children lived the train ride!
Excellent experience. Fun for all ages. Get your walking shoes ready. Loved the train ride!
If you are on the road, this is a great little stop and time jump Back to 19 century rural France. Many old houses reconstructed on site. If you have kids, they will love it. There is an old auberge a bakery and a which house and farm animals as well!
A must see. Getting there by train is fabulous. The sites and the historic exhibitions are genuinely realistic. A fantastic day out !
Great place for adults and children. Lovely to arrive on an old train
This place is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! You should plan to spend your day there if you want to see everything. There is a great treasure hunt for kids in French but all the descriptions inside are in French, English, and Spanish. There are many people dressed up to show you the art of living from the old days.
Very interesting, be prepared to do a fair bit of walking.
