Écomusée de la Bintinais, Ecomuseum in Rennes, France.
The Écomusée de la Bintinais occupies a restored manor farm on the outskirts of Rennes, surrounded by 20 hectares of parkland and agricultural fields.
The museum opened its doors in May 1987 and received the official 'Musée de France' designation in February 2003, marking its national importance.
The museum presents five centuries of rural life through exhibits showcasing traditional living spaces, agricultural practices, and the relationship between city and countryside.
Visitors can access permanent exhibitions free of charge from Tuesday to Sunday, with extended hours during summer months from April through September.
The site maintains a collection of 19 heritage animal breeds and preserves 120 apple varieties in its orchards, acting as both a living museum and genetic bank.
