Montrol-SénardWelcome to a village in 1900!

Montrol-Sénard, rural nostalgia.

In the blink of an eye, cross the corridors of time: nearly fifteen traditional houses bring to life scenes of daily life and forgotten trades.

An authentic village, not a reconstruction

Since 1986, Montrol-Sénard has been brought back to life by a handful of volunteers and local residents.

A new kind of eco-museum was born.

The buildings were rehabilitated and restored.

They have been restored to their original function and given a new lease of life: they are open to the public and show how life used to be: the bread oven, the forge, the café…

Historic village... alive!

To immerse yourself in the soul of Limousin, there’s nothing like a little shopping: Art Expo is held at Montrol Sénard between June and September.

You’ll find crafts and products from the local gastronomy.

The “Journée des vieux métiers” (Old Crafts Day) in August allows you to discover the skills of yesteryear.

Why is Montrol Sénard a must?

The streets of the village offer a wealth of possibilities for this journey back in time: almost 18 points of interest await you.

Have you ever seen a pigsty or a clogmaker’s workshop?

Do you know how to wash your clothes in the wash-house?

It’s enough to make a day of it!

In the shoes of a student in 1900

As you enter the classroom, you’d swear the pupils were at recess!

The lab coats hang behind the wood-burning stove, the moral statement is written in beautiful letters on the blackboard… You don’t hesitate to sit at the desk and crunch the chalk on the slate!
