What to expect
The Village Musée du Der is a museum showcasing the historical and natural heritage of the Champagne region. The museum features a collection of traditional timber-framed buildings, including a church, a blacksmith's house, and a dovecote, which were rescued from three villages that were flooded to create the Lac du Der, the largest artificial lake in Europe. Visitors can explore the buildings and learn about the history of the region, as well as discover the surrounding gardens, including a medicinal herb garden, a vegetable garden, and an insect garden. The museum offers a unique glimpse into the past and is a great place to visit with family and friends

THE DER VILLAGE MUSEUM
Activities: We visited the Village Musée du Der, located near the Lac du Der. We watched an explanatory film about the lake's creation. We explored the village museum with its church, school, and gardens. The kids followed a plan to explore the old trades exhibits, gardens, and an old school classroom
Highlights: The children were intrigued by the old trades, especially the charron, the bourrelier, the laitière and the sabotier. "We had fun searching for frogs" in the marshes. The kids loved the old school classroom, playing behind the desks. The alternation between indoor and outdoor was appreciated ✨
