MARQUESEE ECOMUSEUM
Authentic Ecomuseum to discover the furnished houses of the former inhabitants in Sabres
Experience a day out of time! Board a century-old train for a unique experience at the Ecomusée de Marquèze. This is an authentic 19th-century Landes hamlet. As the day unfolds, you'll discover the furnished houses, some of which were once inhabited by local people, attend demonstrations of local know-how and activities, and soak up the atmosphere of l'Estanquet as you share a convivial moment over salads made from vegetables grown in the Ecomusée's greenhouses and local produce. Let yourself be carried away by the charms of this unique site, created in 1969 and awarded the Musée de France label, in the heart of the Landes de Gascogne Regional Nature Park. Treasure hunts and workshops are on the program for younger visitors, to help them better understand daily life in the 19th century. Allow at least half a day to explore the entire ecomuseum. The ticket includes the return train journey, guided and/or self-guided tours (1h) of the Marquèze district, access to the Pavilion and exhibitions, as well as participation in local activities and games. A temporary exhibition dedicated to the pictorial works of Bernard Manciet will complete your visit to the Pavillon (located opposite the Sabres train station). And there's always plenty to see and do: old-fashioned cooking, a presentation of the gardens, the arrival of the shepherd on stilts and his flock, the history of gemmage, a tour of the mill, a meeting with the spinner, etc. All the information you need is online.

Un train d'époque vous amènera jusqu'au parc en passant par la belle forêt landaise.
Prévoyez au moins une demi journée pour visiter, au mieux une journée (il y a de quoi se restaurer sur place).
je vous recommande de goûter le pain au jambon du boulanger : une petite merveille pour les papilles!
Super landscape, very beautiful visit that enabled us to have a beautiful view of the landes and life fashion of these inhabitants at the time (the houses, clothing worn, tools...). Great moment in the sheepfold where children gave pleasure with animals from the farm where they spent all afternoon with the sheep.
The staff is very friendly. A large thank you with the shepherd and the saleswoman of the shop who were very available.
If you come to the region, go!!!!! you will not regret it!!!!
L’écomusée reconstitue ce qu’était une « ferme » dans les Landes jusque fin XIXème, avec la maison du maitre, le logement du « brassier » (celui qui loue ses bras), les différents communs (porcherie, four, hangars agricoles, etc …) L’intérieur des logements est meublé d’objets anciens.
Visite guidée incluse dans le prix du billet mais il est possible aussi de se promener en visite libre. Possibilité aussi de se promener seule après la visite guidée pour revoir tel ou tel bâtiment. Le terrain de l’écomusée est accessible à tous mais je n’ai pas vu d’aménagement pour fauteuils roulants pour monter dans le train. Or on ne peut pas aller dans l’écomusée sans prendre le train
Boutique de souvenirs, cartes postales etc... dans la gare. On y passe à l’aller et au retour.
Buvette dans l’écomusée. Possibilité aussi de s’essayer à marcher sur les grandes échasses der bergers landais ! (en s’aidant de fils tendus)
