Guided tour of the Maison Michaud ecomuseum
Description
Located at an altitude of over 1100 m, Maison Michaud, a typical farmhouse with a smokehouse in the Haut-Doubs region, has stood the test of time since 1683. Immerse yourself in the life of the peasants of the Jura mountains from the 17th century to the beginning of the 20th century.
During this visit, you will explore the 800 m² exhibition space and the 2000 objects on display. You will discover how farmers ingeniously adapted to the harsh, long winters and the solutions they found in this self-sufficient lifestyle: sustainable architecture in harmony with its environment, know-how, ways of life…
Visiting the Maison Michaud also means discovering stories about the Franco-Swiss border, where small and great historical events intertwine: border markers, smuggling, resistance, and smugglers during the Second World War…
Come and spend a pleasant time in this old farmhouse, typical of the Jura Mountains!
