Écomusée de la Grande Lande

The ecomuseum spans across 25 hectares, featuring traditional buildings such as stables, sheepfolds, mills, and period houses furnished with regional artifacts.

The ecomuseum preserves the agricultural heritage of the Landes region, which transformed from marshlands to Europe's largest pine forest following an 1857 law.

Visitors experience traditional Landes activities through demonstrations of resin collection, flax harvesting, and bread making in communal ovens.

Access to the museum requires boarding a historical train at Sabres station, which transports visitors through different points of interest.

Shepherds in the 19th century used stilts to oversee their flocks across the vast expanses of the Landes territory.
