Between Nogaro and Barbotan-les-Thermes, in the heart of Bas-Armagnac, the Musée du Paysan Gascon welcomes you to a former farm estate typical of Gascony.

Here, the rural heritage of the Gers is not frozen behind glass: it is lived, shared, and passed on.

Through a covered and fully accessible trail, you’ll discover the everyday life of the past — shaped by simple gestures, forgotten know-how, and familiar emotions. Every room, every tool, every house tells a story: that of the men and women who shaped this land.

The museum invites you to walk in the footsteps of the weaver, to listen to the tales of a Gascon dance, to brush your hand against the clay walls of the labourer’s house, and to marvel at the Armagnac stills.

More than just an exhibition space, it is a place of life, where Gascon culture, the Occitan language, peasant traditions, and living transmission meet. Activities, demonstrations, storytelling and encounters punctuate the seasons and make this museum a place deeply rooted in its region.
