on the edge of the Landes Forest

Location
Around 20 kilometres east of Saint-Paul-lès-Dax, Montfort-en-Chalosse is a charming village in the Chalosse area, the fertile part of the Landes renowned for its foie gras and its gastronomic tradition.

Atmosphere
As soon as you arrive at the museum, you enter a reconstruction of a typical 19th-century Chalosse estate humming with the day to day activities of its inhabitants. You visit the richly-furnished mansion, the garden and the tennant farmer’s house, the winery with its amazing press, as well as the bread oven. The farming and winemaking equipment sums up the Chalosse identity.
