Two steps away from the Bois de Boulogne, this museum reflects the difficulties faced by French farmers that we sometimes overlook, through tools and objects representative of country life. Founded in 1969, it was originally located at the Palais de Chaillot and was one of the first museums in France to use interactive exhibits. There is a less serious section dedicated to fairgrounds, parades, circuses and puppet shows. Admission is EUR5 for adults; concessions EUR4.
