Musee Prieure du Vieux Logis

About

The Museum of Arts and Furniture of the late Middle Ages Le Prieuré du Vieux-Logis invites you to a journey through time and presents you with collections of medieval religious art and a set of usual objects and furniture gathered by the Reverend Dominican Father Alfred Lemerre, enamored of ancient art. The collections range from the 14th to the 17th centuries. You can visit thirteen rooms on the ground floor, a dining room decorated with ancient tins and roosters, a Gothic room, a room with renaissance furniture, and a kitchen arranged with splendid furniture of different eras, utensils. On the wall are placed some religious paintings gleaned by Father Lemerre at random of his displacements. Upstairs are the chapel, the oratory, the sacristy and a room. Here we have not only objects of art but also objects of current use making this museum a living evocation of the past.
