Écomusée du pays de la cerise

The Ecomuseum occupies a former distillery estate from 1829, featuring copper stills, wooden framework, and a conservatory orchard with forty cherry varieties.

The museum, established in 1986 in an industrial distillery building, received the official designation of 'musée de France' in February 2003.

The facility presents the complete process of cherry cultivation and kirsch production, from harvesting methods to distillation techniques and product distribution.

Located at 206 Le Petit Fahys, the museum opens daily except Tuesdays from 2 PM to 6 PM between February and November, with extended hours in summer.

The museum maintains a conservation orchard created in 1991 with local farmers to preserve regional cherry varieties and agricultural knowledge.
