Manoir des Sciences de Réaumur, Technology museum in an 18th-century manor in Réaumur, France.
The Manoir des Sciences de Réaumur offers an interactive and sensory journey through Enlightenment scientific discoveries within an authentic 18th-century architectural setting that preserves the scholar's original workspace.
This former seigneury belonging to scientist René-Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur was acquired between 1628 and 1635, then transformed into a museum after restoration work begun in 1991 by volunteers.
The site promotes scientific culture through interactive exhibitions showcasing the experimental method and spirit of discovery that prevailed during the Age of Enlightenment in France.
The manor is open Monday through Friday and Sundays from 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM, with wheelchair accessibility and entrance fees ranging from €5 to €7 depending on season.
Visitors can manipulate authentic scientific instruments in Réaumur's reconstructed study and experiment with his research methods in thermometry and biology through hands-on activities and demonstrations.
