The best museums Yvelines

It is one of the old fish farms. Since 1896, exactly. The Villette fish farm is now run by Emmanuel Coupin, fish farmer and biological engineer. Of course, you can come and fish, especially with your children (equipment provided, fish prepared...). Fishing enthusiasts will also find what they are looking for: koi carp (from April to September) or ornamental carp, from Japan. The ecomuseum traces the history of this old water mill, whose origins date back to the 16th century. Old accessories also recall the history of the Villette fish farm. Finally, in the local shop, you will find fresh products (trout, sturgeon) and dishes prepared on site such as smoked salmon, smoked trout (made on site) or Nordic dishes, as well as preserves and local products from the Yvelines region.

Currently closed for an indefinite period due to lack of resources, the museum was inaugurated in 1973, in the heart of the country house - a beautiful th-century farmhouse - from Max Fourny, publisher and collector, and its wife, painter Françoise Adnet. The founder, naive art, had travelled the world and accumulated more than 1 500 pieces. The museum presents a wide range of cultures, rituals, customs and aesthetics that highlight this colourful figurative art on all continents. Here are 45 countries, of very many techniques (oil, acrylic, gouache, watercolour, pencil, pastel, iron, cardboard, embroidery, mâché paper, collage, sculpture, bas-relief…), and most varied media (canvas, wood, isorel, paper, glass…). Paintings, sculptures and publications are put into perspective through temporary exhibitions. The museum also allows visitors, both large and small, to initiate the various techniques of plastic art through workshops.
