Origin and history

The Écomusée du Pays d'Auzon is a monument located in the commune of Auzon, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This type of establishment is generally intended to preserve and transmit the collective memory of a territory, highlighting local traditions, know-how and history. Ecomuseums often play a central role in valuing the tangible and intangible heritage of a region, while promoting the involvement of locals in the conservation of their cultural heritage.

In a region like the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, marked by a rich geographical and historical diversity, local museums help to discover the specifics of rural or urban areas. They allow us to understand past lifestyles, traditional economic activities such as agriculture, handicrafts or commerce, and their evolution over the centuries. These cultural places are also spaces for meeting and exchanging, strengthening the social link around a common identity.
