This has been set out at Triatel in three ancient buildings (15th-18th centuries) of remarkable historical and cultural importance: the rascard, the grange and the grenier.

 

Exhibits are laid out in sections along the visitor’s route through these: in the rascard, haymaking, the mule, corn and the cow; inside the grange, dairy-making equipment, baking of bread and meat conservation; and the journey concludes with forestry tools and a complete carpentry set.

In a corner is a reconstruction of an old “péillo”, or dwelling. A simple matrimonial bedroom has been fitted out with authentic furniture and furnishings. There is a bed with a mattress embellished with embroidered sheets, containing a second inside for the children; a crib for the latest baby, a chair, some wooden trunks, a pitcher and basin and finally some oil lamps.

The museum is accessible by car from Torgnon along a narrow, but very panoramic. To better appreciate this enchanting corner of Torgnon, we recommend that you get to the museum on foot. The route is about 1 km and a half, the road is paved and the landscape on Valtournenche is splendid. The tour is completed with a visit to the mill, which is located nearby, on the stream-Petit Monde.
