Museum La Rue du Temps qui Passe Visit shopping streets from the beginning of the last century in Périgord Noir

What is the Museum / Bistro "La rue du temps qui passe"?

Imagine being able to step back in time, for a stroll through the shopping streets of the early 20th century. A time when electricity and running water weren't part of everyday life, a time when the automobile was just starting to roll, a time when the knife grinder sharpened your knives in the street, a time when the shoemaker crafted your shoes…

A surprising atmosphere where you can feel the soul of things. As soon as you cross the threshold, you enter another universe where time seems to have stopped; it is not a simple hangar where a whole bunch of old things are piled up, quite the contrary, you stroll through beautiful cobbled streets, strewn with shops, workshops and stalls from the old days with authentic and well-maintained facades, from the time when wood, steel and glass had not yet been replaced by the cold and lifeless materials of the modern world.

It all started with a father and daughter who initiated the creation of spaces recreating scenes from bygone days, initially intended to showcase several vintage automobiles. From this passion was born the most unusual garage in the entire region: a street straight out of the 1900s…

This self-guided walk is accompanied by the completion of the "Certificate of Study" (search for anachronisms)...

The Bistrot is accessible to everyone without a tour, with its terrace overlooking the Dordogne river.
