MUSEUM OF POPULAR ARTS AND TRADITIONS

The Association des Amis du Vieux Crozet and La Pacaudière, founded in 1948, purchase this small house to set up, in 1959, a museum of popular arts and traditions giving tourists the opportunity to enter a typical interior of the time keeping witness to local objects and stories. On the ground floor there are antique trades workshops (sabotier, marshal-farrier, wood trades). By crossing the staircase, you will find yourself within the framework of a peasant interior, animated by the objects of everyday life. On this floor is also an exhibition room. The second floor consists of an important regional history library, but also a biography and memories of Jean Cour, a distinguished Royal judge and lieutenant general in the bailiwick du Forez, born in Crozet in 1500.
