The best museums Saône-Et-Loire

Since 1994, Pierre de Bresse Castle Park has been home to the most important Burgundy biological fair, the last weekend of June, with more than exhibitors. Because you knew that Burgundy is a pioneer region in agrobiologie? As many as 5 000 visitors learn each year that bio is not only about food, but also about green, energy, housing… The weekend is punctuated by conferences, animations for children, and also for big ones, in the form of a big country party under the top on Saturday evening.

The house of laughter changes its address and is currently in work. In a year, more spacious premises should host the entire collection and much more. 

The site houses a museum in the heart of a barge. We will understand the life of the footballers, their equipment and their entire activity.

Amateur of old mechanics, this museum is made for you! Originally, this museum was the dream of the Association Le Chaudron, which aimed to present its collections within a museum, in order to make them discover them to as many people as possible. In 1993, after five years of construction, the museum finally opened its doors. Since then, it has welcomed thousands of visitors in a 1,500 ^m2 space divided into three parts. Most of the museum is used to display steam engines, cars and trucks from rural life. The second is used as a miniature shop and documentation centre. Finally, a specific place is dedicated to the maintenance and, above all, to the restoration of rare pieces, which can sometimes exceed a hundred years old.

In the Mâcon competition of 1874, Emile Puzenat was awarded a first prize for an invention that would greatly facilitate the work of the fields: La En, Mr Puzenat will have at his disposal, a few years later, the creation of another revolutionary tool: horse rake. Thus, this museum presents an industrial retrospective of the Puzenat plant from 1882 to 1956 which revolutionized the farming world by facilitating the work of farmers. An exhibition complemented by many wooden tools of the time (over 400 transplanted).

This museum was created in 1861 to accommodate the most significant Roman and medieval architectural elements (very beautiful fragments of tents and cornices), often too voluminous to be placed at the Rolin Museum. The stone museum is set in the ancient Romanesque chapel Saint-Nicolas, with the apse of the apse, adorned with a great Christ (th century fresco). The romantic garden is ideal for the scenes and lighting of the torchlight during the Night of Museums.

The museum area of this dream train plunges you into the history of the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranean railway. Through a beautiful staging, you will discover a collection of more than 300 period objects, scenes of life retracing the golden age of the rails from 1880 to 1950. You can see scenes from the life of the PLM, soldiers leaving or returning from the two world wars, and a collection of objects from the trenches: vases, lighters, and other things made with artillery shells by the soldiers while they were waiting in the trenches. In the middle of the countryside but only a few minutes from the charming town of Autun. The 1910 steam loco reminds us that all this was running, only the whistle is missing. A beautiful immersion!

In the rural Bresse region, there's nothing more natural than a Maison de l'agriculture. It is organized in a space evoking the atmosphere of an old farmyard, with trompe-l'oeil decor. Step inside to discover the traditional activities of the Bresse countryside, the evolution of farming practices, including the use of the first tractors, and the various local PDOs and AOCs. Dioramas, panels and videos detail farming life, amid landscapes marked by cereal crops and poultry farming.
