Are you curious to know what the good life was like back in 1900? Come to the village of Saint-Joseph.
Get ready to put your watch back more than a century. You have an appointment with the dawn of the twentieth century, in the village of Saint-Joseph. You won’t find tacky theme park decor here, just a subtle reconstruction of the buildings and a poignant collection of carefully gathered objects. The result is a village complete with bakery, café, haberdasher’s store and grocery store, as well as a school, printing works and garage. The dedicated work of enthusiasts: local artisans and collectors – is to thank for the quality of all you see. Visitors of all ages will be fascinated, by this amazing journey through time, for all the family.


The real advantage
Have you heard of the hikers’ café (estaminet de randonnée)? Halfway between a country café and a traditional guingette (tavern), it is known for its warm welcome. Finish your escapade through history with a sing-song.
