My parents and my son went to hike with me there from another village, when I just about to pay the tickets I found I lost my wallet. Can happen that I left in the car which was 4km away. I let my parents and son stay there and wanted to go back myself to my car. The very nice host lady heard about it, and just took her car key and said I drive you back. I was so frustrated that I could have lost my wallet and have to go back on foot to the car. She just gave me such help that I was so impressed at that time. Immediately she drove me to my car and I found my wallet there. I want to say thank you so much for the great help. It might be a small thing for you but you can’t imagine how stressed I was when I couldn’t find my wallet. I am not a big fun of museum but this museum is really amazing that I couldn’t stop looking all the collections one by one and want to explain everything to my son. Fantastic experience, such nice lady and such wonderful museum. Worth to see in any case and you will...

What a delightful, quirky little "village". This was a lovely way to spend a few hours. There's a nice, homely cafe and a lovely giftshop at the entrance and we were given a warm welcome by the ticket lady who very helpfully spoke English to us! The place is set out in different areas, with a farrier/blacksmith's workshop, a windmill with workshop, a shoemaker's, an automotive repair shop, a 60's/70's section, a photographer's , a schoolroom and many more areas filled with period items such as tools and other interesting antiquities and toys. There's a lovely garden with a chapel in it too. There's something of interest for all ages and it seems that there are activities to engage children (no children in our party and the activities were in French) Although the info was in French, it didn't spoil our enjoyment - it was interesting to see the huge collection of items (large and small) that had been curated here. Reasonable priced and there's a generous...

Je suis éducateur en protection de l'enfance, avec des jeunes placés pour différentes raisons familiales. En découvrant ce parc sur Internet, j'ai été immédiatement séduit par son concept: un village reconstitué pour faire découvrir la vie d'autrefois en France. Un projet culturel enrichissant, parfaitement adapté pour une sortie éducative et citoyenne. Les jeunes étaient enthousiastes à l'idée de visiter ce lieu et de le découvrir.

Mais à ma grande surprise, lorsque j'ai contacté le gérant par téléphone pour organiser cette sortie, j'ai été confronté à un refus catégorique et, surtout, à des propos profondément choquants. Je cite: « Je ne préfère pas que ce genre de public vienne dans mon parc. Ils n'ont rien à faire là » ou encore « J'accepte les groupes scolaires mais pas ce genre de jeunes ». J'ai tenté d'expliquer qu'il ne s'agissait pas de jeunes délinquants, mais bien d'adolescents placés pour leur protection, souvent victimes plutôt qu'auteurs de quoi que ce soit. Rien n'y a fait. Le discours est resté fermé, condescendant et stigmatisant.

En tant que professionnel de terrain, je suis profondément outré par ce rejet injustifié. Pour un lieu qui se veut culturel, familial et ouvert à la transmission, ce type de discrimination est tout simplement inacceptable. Les valeurs humaines devraient être au cœur de ce genre d'initiative, pas l'exclusion.

Je rédige rarement des avis, mais il m'est impossible de garder le silence face à une telle attitude pour un parc qui prétend être "Culturel et Familial". J'espère sincèrement que ce message poussera Monsieur Baclez (le gérant) à reconsidérer ses propos, à se renseigner sur le champ de la protection de l'enfance, et à faire la différence entre cela et le champ de la justice pénale des mineurs. La culture doit être un pont, pas une barrière. Aujourd'hui, c'est tout l'inverse que j'ai...

Tickets a bit pricey for what is offered inside, the grounds are quite small and didn’t look particularly well maintained. The thing that I really struggled with is the chickens and rabbits confined in pens just outside the terrace seatings. The rabbits’ water bowls looked dirty - some looked empty covered with hay and the other one had quite a lot of fur on the water. The grey rabbit, while I stood there for 10-15 mins observing, was constantly grooming and pulling her/his hair. I’m not sure why the small animals were kept there but they looked a bit sad.

We spent about three hours in this museum village and felt like traveling back in time. It was nice to see lots of scenes representing people at work, school, bar or church. Great to bring children they have lots of things to discover. Dinner can be served but only on reservation. Souvenirs shop also available. Worth a visit if you are in Calais area and you want something different. Enjoyed!
