of the Loire and the Vienne, in a preserved world heritage site, well
off the beaten track in the peaceful surrounds of the Véron river peninsula.
Here, man and nature have always lived in harmony with the ebb and flow
of the water. It is a land of legend and myth where modernity has learned
to respect age-old traditions. This is a new kind of museum that will
delight the whole family with its permanent exhibition, living farm
and countryside walks. The ecomuseum collection is the result of many
years of patient work by Pierre Acier in the Véron area. This is not
the place for old master paintings or precious objects, just modest
utensils that reflect life of the inhabitants of Véron. Nevertheless,
the collection is rich with information about local lifestyles and farming
practices. It is, after all, the duty of museums to reflect the past
in all walks of life. Opening 01/04
