    • Eco-museum, archaeological park and cultural park, the Gallic Village is unclassifiable! Here, nothing is ordinary, everything is different and far from the usual signposted paths ; from the origin of the project to its construction, through the way it works to its opening to the public.

      Information stands along the way allow you to understand better the place, the period and the crafts.

      Craftpeople liven up this place and, with passion, show perfectly the know-how of the jeweller, the dexterity of the brazier and depending on the day, weaving, ironworks and wickerwork. This village passes on to us a cultural message that's often regarded as minor. However this Gallic art that we inevitably found through the Gallic crafts is infinitely elaborate and unique.

    A recreation of a Gaulois village complete with reenactors demonstrating traditional crafts such as weaving and leather working. It feels very immersive. They’ve also got a restaurant so you can spend the afternoon there.

    A real tourist trap, Very disappointing experience. We came here expecting an afternoon of activities for the kids and left after 2h. There were 3 activities that took about 5 minutes each, for the rest nothing interactive and just looking at unmotivated people who only speak french. For 90€ for 5 people, this is a real tourist trap (and yes, we have done similar parks in the past where the experience was way better) In short: Best to stay away

    Recreation of a "typical" Village Gaulois an hour's drive from Toulouse. It's open from 14h00 (check days). The huts have been carefully recreated since the foundation of the project 1993. The team run excellent workshops and present their "metiers". Wood working, pottery, wool.
