Farm and Pruneau Museum

Description

The Farm and Pruneau Museum takes visitors through the history of plums and prunes since the 12th century, the manufacturing process of pruneaux (dried prunes) from planting through to harvesting, drying and processing. The visit ends with a tasting of locally produced pruneaux. The farm also has a maze (separate ticket).

Access & Transport

The farm is located between Marmande and Agen, on the southern bank of the Lot River in the village of Laffite-sur-Lot. The exact address is: Le Gabach 47320 LAFITTE-SUR-LOT GPS coordinates are available here: https://www.musee-du-pruneau.com/acces/

Instructions & Recommendations

Take note that the Museum visits must start at the latest 1h30 before the scheduled closing time

Meta review

Perhaps not spectacular but an enjoyable and instructive experience. Reviewers mention the detailed explanations and the opportunity to taste the farm products. The quality of the service and infrastructure seem to be declining though according to several visitors who had been there in the past. For many, a guided visit would be far more engaging than the audio-guide.

Environmental & Social

Green activity run by a small independent operator.

Conclusion

In our opinion, this attraction is for those with several days dedicated to the region. It is interesting but not fascinating. However, if you are in the area or pruneau is a favourite of yours, then you should add this to the mix in between villages, castles and long lunches.

Key positive

No better way to learn about pruneaux, the local specialty

Inexpensive and not crowded

Key negative

Service could be improved

Slightly overpriced products in the shop

Suitability

Suitable for all ages and accessible for visitors with reduced mobility
