The rural ecomuseum of the Pays nantais

Our hotel near the Zenith in Nantes guides you to Vigneux-de-Bretagne

Today, the Pays nantais rural ecomuseum comprises three sites:

The Pâquelais farm

This old farm is now an exhibition site on the trades of the past.

It also houses a house from the last century and a village of craftsmen reproduced identically by volunteers.

Immerse yourself in the heart of an authentic site during your visit and discover how the workers of the time lived.

The display of objects, tools and agricultural machinery allows you to project yourself in the blink of an eye.

From the bread oven to the stable, you will learn a great deal about the past of these craftsmen of yesteryear.

 

Le Moulin Neuf

Near the site of La Pâquelais, the Moulin Neuf focuses more on the trade of miller and the conception of flour.

During the visit on the road to Vigneux-de-Bretagne, follow the path of the buckwheat grains to the making of the galettes.

 

The Flour Mill

Adjacent to the mill, the flour mill is used to transform cereals into flour. This flour mill has been in operation for over 70 years.

It is above all a family story: the Brodu family.

From father to son, each one puts his heart into producing flour and supplying the region's farmers with flour by sheer force of arms.

Despite the fact that the flour mill was closed down when the last two brothers in the family retired, it is now a monument to the heritage of the town.
