The attraction is built upon an authentic Provencal mas (farmhouse) structure preserved in its original regional architectural style.
The park maintains a collection of rare, vintage agricultural tools that date back to the pre-industrialization period of Southern France.
The site hosts live demonstrations of traditional craftsmanship including historical methods for producing bread and local food staples.
It is specifically curated to depict the seasonal rhythm of rural French life as it existed over a century ago.
Le Vieux Mas (The Old Farmhouse) is a living history amusement park dedicated to the agricultural traditions of the Camargue and Provence regions in the 19th century. The site features a collection of authentic, restored farm machinery, vintage workshops, and traditional craft displays. Visitors can observe daily life in a period-accurate farmhouse setting, including bread baking and livestock husbandry. It serves as an educational center highlighting ancient Provencal trades like blacksmithing, weaving, and woodturning. The grounds house a variety of farm animals typical of the era, which are displayed in a rustic, non-commercialized environment. Its design focuses on cultural heritage and the preservation of rural customs rather than modern mechanical rides.
The central courtyard area in front of the stone farmhouse provides the most authentic period-aesthetic backdrop.
Wear comfortable, sturdy walking shoes as the terrain consists of unpaved, natural paths.
Bring sun protection, as much of the site is outdoors with limited structural shade during peak summer heat.
Allow extra time for children to interact with the petting-zoo style animal enclosures.
Do not treat the exhibits as a standard modern theme park; it is a museum-style environment where historical preservation is the priority.
Open seasonally from spring through autumn; closed during winter months.
