Museum of Traditions, Folk museum in La Guérinière, France.

The museum displays collections of furniture, traditional costumes, and domestic objects that represent daily life on Noirmoutier Island during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Founded in 1973 by Geneviève Coulombeau in a former girls' school, the museum started with two exhibition rooms containing objects from 80 local families.

Nine thematic rooms showcase collections donated by Noirmoutier families, presenting traditional activities and crafts specific to the island's heritage.

The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Saturday from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM, offering educational games for children and temporary exhibitions during summer.
