Ecomusée de Marquèze

The Ecomusée de Marquèze presents a complete reconstruction of a 19th-century Landais village with traditional buildings, farms, and agricultural equipment.

Established in 1969 by the Landes de Gascogne Regional Nature Park, this museum documents the transformation of moorlands into forest landscapes over time.

The site demonstrates traditional skills and daily activities of shepherd-farmers through authentic buildings, period furnishings, and live demonstrations of regional crafts.

The museum provides wheelchair loans, walking canes, and seating canes at reception, with accessible pathways leading to the entrance train.

Visitors reach the museum grounds via a dedicated train journey that transports them directly into a preserved 19th-century Landais neighborhood.
