    • What is the Museum / Bistro "The Street of Passing Time"?

      Imagine being able to go back in time, for the time of a walk in the shopping streets of the beginning of the last century. The time when electricity and running water were not part of everyday life, the time when the automobile made its first turns of wheels, the time when the knife grinder sharpened your knives in the street, the time when the shoemaker made your shoes…

      A surprising atmosphere where you can feel the soul of things. As soon as you enter, you enter another universe where time seems to have stopped, it is not a simple hangar where a whole bunch of old stuff is piled up, quite the contrary, you wander through beautiful streets with cobblestones, strewn with shops, workshops and stalls from the old days with authentic and neat storefronts, at a time when wood, steel and glass had not yet been replaced by the cold and lifeless materials of the modern world.

      It was originally a father and his daughter who initiated the creation of spaces, reconstructing scenes from life in the past, initially intended to showcase several old cars. From this passion was born the most unusual garage in the entire Region: a Street from the 1900s…

      This free walk is accompanied by the passage of the "Certificate of Study" (search for anachronisms)...

      The Bistrot is accessible to all without a visit with its terrace on the banks of the Dordogne.

    We loved our visit to the Rue du Temps qui Passe (Street of Passing Time)! It's so much more than just a museum; it's a true immersion into a bustling shopping street of yesteryear, beautifully recreated with an incredible number of authentic objects. It's a perfect activity for all ages: older visitors will reminisce fondly, while younger ones will make fascinating discoveries about the lives of our grandparents. The playful aspect, with the game of finding a modern object in each shop, makes the visit super interactive and fun for both children and adults. The owners (heirs of the collector) give a warm and passionate welcome, which adds so much to the charm of the place. We'll be back next year for more discoveries!
