Stay : The peasant Lot of the past

To get an idea of the life of this rural world, the first excursion is to Benoît Jouclar's house, a true lover of authenticity. To enter his world, head for Salviac, in the Bourianne region, to his Museum of Agricultural and Automotive Heritage. It's all in the name! On 6 000 m², you can admire a collection of more than 250 tractors, 150 cars and utilities, 200 two-wheelers and a thousand parts and objects to discover in their environment of time. It is one of the most important collections of its kind in the South-West, created by Benoît who has been accumulating these small (and large) treasures since the age of 14!
After the visit, nothing could be more natural than to stop for dinner at the restaurant Chez Mourgues in Peyrilles. Here we continue our excursion into the flavours of yesteryear with the famous "mique", a local twist on bread soup. This restaurant is known for serving the best in the region.

Now, let's go to the Célé valley in the commune of Sauliac-sur-Célé to visit an exceptional site. Labelled as a Museum of France, the Cuzals Ecomuseum opens onto the peasant memory on 20 hectares of the causse. Cuzals is the experience of the reconstruction of an entire village in the Quercy countryside of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Open from the beginning of May to the end of September, the site offers a slightly timeless interlude that allows you to discover the trades of yesteryear, such as blacksmith, basket maker, clog maker, etc. The daily life in the thatched houses is explained and a host of activities are organised to give concrete expression to the various workshops. The idea of Cuzals is total immersion in the world of the peasants of yesteryear.
