Description
The Maison éco-paysanne, comprising a traditional farmhouse and an interpretation center, offers a wide range of insights into ecological living, from yesterday to tomorrow. It offers activities that inspire people to take action on a daily basis.
The traditional farm
Dwelling houses, barns and wine cellars illustrate the daily life of islanders in the 19th century. Stroll through the pretty garden and enter the buildings, which have been restored in recent years using participatory methods and eco-materials. The "thieuzine" (traditional living room) and the cellar have been restored to their original condition.
The interpretation center
Discover the villages of Oleron through the ages: landscapes and hamlets, houses of yesteryear and tomorrow, materials and eco-construction, eco-gestures and living together... With your head full of ideas, it's up to you to come up with your own solutions for a greener habitat!
A fun, interactive tour
Young and old alike can experience architecture at your fingertips, with models, material libraries, games and hands-on activities! The permanent exhibition offers a visual, olfactory and auditory immersion in the Oleron villages of yesterday and the ecological homes of tomorrow.
For the whole family: educational trail and game booklets for children, treasure hunts every Sunday afternoon for 4-6 and 7-12 year-olds, workshops for young audiences during school vacations.
Practical eco-materials courses, workshops, shows, events: ask for the program!
