Museum of Popular Beliefs in Le Monastier-sur-Gazeille, featuring paintings, photos, sculptures and objects.

The Musée des Croyances Populaires (Museum of Popular Beliefs) is housed on the first floor of a 16th-century château. It's based largely on collections made from very old people who have spent their entire lives on the Velay plateaux, in isolated farmhouses. These individuals were interviewed about the tales, legends, superstitions and stories of ghosts and witchcraft they heard as children. Through hundreds of objects, paintings and figurines created in Patrice Rey's unique style, you'll discover that local heritage is often universal. Paintings, photos, sculptures and antiques are also on display.

Quel travail ! On y apprend beaucoup sur l'histoire de France. Entre autres sur les débuts de la mondialisation...voir photo et texte "bête du Gévaudan" publiée ci-dessous.

Déco planté. Y a plus qu'à se laisser guidé dans un monde plein d'imaginaire, d'effroi et pourtant de bon sens de l'être humain. L'humour qui est partout permet de comprendre ces croyance.

Nous avons passé un chouette moment à travers cette visite guidée. Bravo pour l'idée de transmission de toutes ces histoires locales et toutes nos félicitations pour les illustrations... c'est super ! Merci pour l'accueil et le temps consacré à nous faire vivre une époque pas si lointaine. Nous recommandons !
