Musée Jacques Guidez

In the heart of Airvault's Petite Cité de Caractère, visitors can admire the beauty of the former Augustinian abbey, founded in the late 10th century. The buildings date from the 12th (vat house, fortified gate), 14th (chapel) and 17th centuries (abbey dwelling). They house the Jacques Guidez Museum, which boasts an important collection of ethnographic objects. The gardens are freely accessible all year round. The museum is open from Monday April 15 to Sunday September 29, 2024. The rural world of yesteryear is well represented (crafts, domestic life, childhood, games and toys, agriculture...).
