La Maison de la Noisette
About This Museum
People don't just come to La Maison de la Noisette for a history lesson; they come for the scent of roasted hazelnuts that greets you before you even step inside. Tucked away in the quiet countryside of Lacépède, this charming museum is a heartfelt tribute to the region's most famous nut. It feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping into the workshop of a passionate, lifelong artisan. You leave not just informed, but with a genuine appreciation for the craft.
Collection Highlights
The star exhibit is undoubtedly the collection of early 20th-century roasters and grinders, their metal worn smooth by decades of use. Don't miss the chance to see artisans demonstrating traditional methods for creating praliné, filling the air with an irresistible sweetness.
