Description

The Musée de la Bourrine du Bois Juquaud is an authentic collection of reed-covered earthen buildings that bear witness to life in the Marais Breton Vendéen at the beginning of the 20th century: the bourrine and numerous outbuildings. The whole complex is located on a dune ridge with well-preserved vegetation. The exhibition room and projection room help visitors to better appreciate and understand Hilairo's heritage. Around the bourrine, a path has been laid out for visitors to explore the forest.

Guided tours:
- April to June: 3pm and 5pm, Tuesday to Sunday.
- July and August: 11am, 3pm and 5pm Monday to Friday.
- September: 3pm and 5pm, Tuesday to Sunday.

Every Wednesday at 4.15pm: "Butter churning" demonstration, the transformation of cream into a lump of butter in the old-fashioned way.
