Marquèze

The Marquèze district spans across several hectares and features authentic buildings, agricultural fields, and traditional equipment from the 19th century Landes region.

The ecomuseum opened in 1970 as the first French open-air museum dedicated to preserving the architectural heritage and farming practices of rural Landes.

Mediators in period costumes demonstrate traditional crafts, including resin collection, wool spinning, and bread making using original tools and methods.

Entrance tickets include a journey on a vintage train from the welcome center to the museum site, with tours available in French, English, and Occitan.

The museum maintains a collection of rare domestic animal breeds that were essential to agricultural life in the Landes region during the 1800s.
