Immerse yourself in the origins of Ardèche and rule the mysteries of Life ! A spectacular adventure in the universe of fossils turning the clock back.
Reviewed By cloclolulu2 - Dudelange, Luxembourg
This museum has opened recently, and is a great activity for kids aged 6+. The guided tour we had through the museum was led by an enthusiastic and sympathetic guide. The explanations were interesting, and some simple illustrations are understandable by kids. The exhibition is spectacular as you can see fossils from different ages and origins. For kids you can add two more activities: a molding of a claw or a tooth of a dinosaur, and excavation of fossils and stones. In addition kids will enjoy replicas of dinosaur's skeletons, like T-rex Stan. The museum is air-conditioned, which can be an additional argument for hot days, and it has a small outside bar. Prices are very reasonable, a parking is just close to the museum. A truly recommendable hidden gem!

In this valley of the Ardeche, fifteen mills testify to the intense industrial activity of silk work. The Moulinage de la Neuve built in 1860 by Hercule Giraud stopped in 1967, closing its doors on its machines, its coils, its bucket wheel. In 2002, the association opened the doors to the barely asleep past... Everything remained in the state!
