LE BOURNAT, A PERIGORDIAN VILLAGE OF 1900 FAITHFULLY RECONSTITUTED
A 1900’s village faithfully reconstructed in Le Bugue on an 8 hectare site on the banks of the Vézère, Le Bournat is also an ode to the cultural and historical heritage of the Périgord. The buildings of the village have been reassembled stone by stone on the site, or built with the skills and materials of the time. The daily life and trades of the villagers of 1900 are presented through the work of real craftsmen and the setting up of educational workshops: an opportunity to admire the tools and techniques of cutlers, millers, blacksmiths, brewers, bakers, glass blowers or wood turners. Lost activities such as wheat braiding are demonstrated. You can also discover in the park of Bournat agricultural machines and cars of the time. The interiors of the buildings are also faithfully reconstructed, like this school classroom that seems to have come straight out of the first 20th century. Le Bournat finally has the air of a village in celebration, with games and rides of a rare beauty! A visit for the whole family which is worth the detour near the Vénère valley, as much as the visit of a prehistoric cave and the walks in the famous Dordogne gardens.
