About La Maison du Terroir
At Villeneuve-d'Ascq near Lille, the Musée du Terroir is a charming folk museum devoted to the rural life and traditions of the Flanders countryside. Housed in a former farm, its rooms recreate the interiors and workshops of times past — the kitchen, the bedroom, the school, the café and the workshops of old country trades — furnished with authentic tools and everyday objects that evoke the daily life of Flemish villagers before the modern age. A garden of traditional plants and regular demonstrations of old crafts add to its charm. Warm, authentic and nostalgic, the Musée du Terroir offers a delightful window onto the customs, work and domestic life of the rural North, a gentle and educational cultural stop that preserves the memory and heritage of the Flanders countryside close to the bustle of Lille.
