Housed in a beautifully preserved 17th-century Bernardine monastery, the Musée de la Vie Bourguignonne Perrin de Puycousin offers a vivid glimpse into the daily life, crafts, and traditions of Burgundy from the 18th to early 20th centuries. The museum's extensive collections include period furniture, costumes, tools, and household items, arranged in evocative room settings. A highlight is the recreated street of shops, featuring a pharmacy, a grocery, a hatmaker, and more, complete with authentic merchandise and fixtures. Visitors can also explore exhibits on wine-growing, agriculture, and religious folk art. The monastery itself, with its cloister and chapel, adds to the immersive experience.
