The Museums of Tourouvre

*Museum of French emigration to Canada
The contemporary and interactive scenography invites visitors to embark on a journey to New France. This former French colony covered a vast territory going from the mouth of the Saint Lawrence (Quebec) to the Mississippi delta (Louisiana). 400 years ago, the Percherons were among the first to settle in these then unknown lands, to clear the forests, to cultivate the land, to build houses, in a word: to found a new country in Canada . Follow these pioneers of the New World from the Perche to the banks of the Saint Lawrence, face the Atlantic crossing with them, meet the Amerindians, discover their history.

*Museum of Trade and Brands
Pass through the famous Kub broth for a dive into the history of our society enamelled with hundreds of objects known to all and witnesses of a not so distant past. From the basket to the shopping cart, the museum offers an instructive, nostalgic and fun walk punctuated by reconstructions of old shops and interpretation spaces around the themes of the trade of yesteryear, brands, advertising and promotional items.
