It presents a summary of Noirmoutier's traditional activities in the late 19C and early 20C: sailing and fishing, salt farming (videos show the specific work of the salt-maker, name the tools and describe the tasks), agriculture, religion etc. The craftsman's workshop is particularly well done, with its workbench, its planers and its templates, along with the equally painstaking presentation of a Noirmoutier interior of yesteryear.
