Micro-Folie de Saint-Pardoux-Soutiers
About This Museum
Tucked away in the charming village of Saint-Pardoux-Soutiers, this Micro-Folie has made a surprising home for itself in the old presbytery on Place de l'Araucaria. It’s a place where digital innovation meets centuries of art, all without you having to travel to the capital. You can spend an afternoon wandering through high-definition masterpieces from institutions like the Louvre and the Palace of Versailles, which feel startlingly vivid up close. It’s a genuinely clever and accessible way to experience world-class culture right in the heart of rural France.
Collection Highlights
The main draw is its digital museum, a massive screen showcasing thousands of iconic works from France's national collections. One moment you're face-to-face with the delicate smile of the Mona Lisa, the next you're examining the bold brushstrokes of a Van Gogh or the grandeur of a Versailles ceiling fresco.
Visitor Information
Finding it is part of the charm—look for the former presbytery building right on the village square. Given its perfect five-star rating from visitors, it's clearly a local gem worth seeking out.
Architecture & Building
Housed in the converted former presbytery, the building retains its traditional village character, with stone walls and a modest stature that beautifully contrasts with the high-tech wonders inside.
