Maison Rouge, Cultural heritage museum in Saint-Jean-du-Gard, France.
Located in a former silk spinning mill, Maison Rouge contains more than 10,000 objects representing life in the Cévennes valleys through exhibits and collections.
The building started as France's oldest silk spinning facility and reopened in 2018 after extensive renovations to house the regional museum collections.
The museum presents daily practices, traditional crafts, and regional knowledge through artifacts collected from the mountain communities of the Cévennes region.
Visitors can access the museum from Wednesday through Sunday, with standard admission at 8 euros and free entry for children under 13 years old.
The museum grounds include an ethnobotanical garden that connects to the indoor exhibits, demonstrating the relationship between local plants and regional traditions.
