<h2>Eco Museum of Marquèze</h2>
<p>At the Marquèze ecomuseum, you can discover how rural life used to be in the large wetland area that was replaced by the Landes forest at the end of the 19th century. An open-air museum, the site recreates a 19th-century Landes village and the methods used to raise <a href="/camping-landes-4-etoiles/tourisme/">Landes</a> ewes, tended by these emblematic shepherds on stilts. Open from late March to early November, the site can be reached from Sabres aboard the resiniers’ train, dating from the very beginning of the 20th century. The eco-museum takes a minimum of 3 hours to visit, and can easily keep you busy for an entire day. Numerous workshops and events punctuate your visit, featuring traditional crafts and games.</p>
