Origin and history

The Museum of Arts and Traditions of the Hautes-Côtes was founded through local popular initiatives, reflecting the people's deep attachment to their homeland and their history. It highlights a variety of collections, ranging from archaeology to ethnology, through old printed collections and scores, illustrating the cultural richness of the High Coasts. This museum is also a tribute to local history, especially through the epic of Vergy's family, whose influence has marked the region for centuries.

The museum's collections are structured around several thematic areas, including local and regional history, botany, and traditional crafts and tools. Among the remarkable pieces are memories related to Alphonse de Lamartine, medieval poems such as the Chastelaine de Vergi (circa 1240), and literary works such as the tragedy Gabrielle de Vergy (1770) by De Belloy. These elements bear witness to a literary, historical and natural heritage, rooted in the identity of the High Coasts.

Labeled "Musée de France", this establishment is located in Reulle-Vergy, in the Côte-d'Or department, in the heart of a region where wine and rural traditions have shaped lifestyles. Its address, Place de la Fontaine, and its environment close to nature make it a place for both cultural and landscape discovery. The local plants and flowers exhibited also recall the inextricable link between the inhabitants and their territory, from ancient times to modern times.
