Really interesting this small village museum that seeks to revive life in the Poitou in the th century. Managed by volunteers who are concerned about the public, there are various thematic rooms. The first is reserved for caps (more than one hundred exhibition) and embroidery in the Poitou. Another represents a paysan peasant interior (the pelebois are the inhabitants of the corner called that at the time because surrounded by forest, they often'peel from wood '). There is also a traditional shopping basket, a laundry barn and its mannequins, a stable containing the tools and objects of rural and artisan life, a period classroom. For groups (from people), possibility to make a guided tour with tasting of regional products.

The museum presents in the former presbytery of the commune nine trades to the old as well as the corresponding tools, put into situation thanks to models: farmer, carpenter, charron, shoemaker, blacksmith, carpenter, résinier, sabotier and cooper. It is a success. And don't forget to climb on the floor, you'll find a nice pottery exhibition. For children, the course is punctuated by riddles to be resolved to access the Treasure trove of Métiers's trades.

This house is also known as the house of the Iles des Iles.

Also, an expo on the Charente River, a video projection on the relationship between the inhabitants of Saint-Groux and their river, an aquarium presenting local species. Please take a seat in a town hall which is open only on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday morning.

Monique Mas offers a superb collection of pedal cars, as well as old cars and other unique vehicles. She bought the first small car for one of her small children, and then he had to be satisfied with the following, and then the little malins blew the idea of making a collection!
