We visited the Eco Musée des Landes at Marqueze today. It was about an hour’s drive then a short tourist train into the site of lots of old houses and farm sites that had been gathered from the region and reassembled. It was a very interesting presentation and included a working water mill. There was also a good exhibition about how the Landes area has changed over the years. It was interesting to hear about the rise and decline of the resin-tappers, a vital part of the area’s economy in the first half of the 20th century. We had dinner again at the campsite.
