The passion fruit: The museum arose in 1993 from the passion of keen volunteers of agricultural mechanisation. Today, the New Museum of the Agricultural Machine and of the Rural life(Rurality) continues in this way by presenting more than 150 machines very in working order, but it also aims to be a guard of the rural life(rurality). Our protective orchard is the first evidence. A museum in evolution: New Museum of the Agricultural Machine and of the Rural life(Rurality), it is a space of 3600-square metre discovery divided in three poles(centres). The building 1 is devoted at the origin of agricultural mechanisation. On the basis of the human energy, via(including) animal energy, you are guided in a labyrinth of machines. Finally, the mechanical energy arrives which so much revolutionised our company(society). From the vapour in the diesel engine without forgetting electricity, you discover an almost exhaustive(thorough) presentation(display) of what our "old("former) " knew. Thanks to a video of 25 mn and very soon in electronic communication and information terminals, the different presented rooms(parts,plays) come back to life. The building 2 shelters a huge steam engine Henryette of 240 CV as well as of machine tools of our campaigns(countrysides) and machines of harvest. You then let transport towards the building 3, place where the "any tractor" and the "time(weather) of harvest" are kings. There, you are guided, from the World War I, with the very rare tractors Auror of 1918 and the Mac Cormick Titan there of 1915\. A new muséographie-stage design allows to present our jewels under unpublished angles and replaces the visitor so in Big(Great) History(Story). After the Second World War, the tractor becomes more democratic, the apparait diesel but, regrettably, campaigns(countrysides) empty. Production increases and we attend a running(race) in power. Extremely rare Doe 130 certifies it. Hedges(Hurdles) disappeared. With John Deere, the giants arrive but the farmer becomes very only in these monstrous machines. Of the tractor, you are going to pass(spend,cross) threshing machines to the reapers to discover reapers' biggest(greatest) collection to world. Our two Americans of 1928, Caperpillar 38 and Deering 8, be allowed guide then towards our French productions, with in particular three unique(only) rooms(parts,plays): French MBA 2 company, Merlin 531 and Guillotin MY 240\. A protective orchard for all: Our association found in the project of creation of a protective orchard a logical continuation(suite) in its implication in the rural life(rurality) and in its commitment to promote values of division(sharing) and respect for the natural area. Established(Constituted) by 32 old(former) sorts(species) of apple trees, plum trees and other cherry trees, he(it) represents to himself a real open-air museum, cultural footbridge enters yesterday, today and tomorrow, since he(it) teaches youngs as big(great) natural cycles of nature, by favouring biodiversity, by sensitising the public-spirited, rural or urban, in the necessary conservation of our environment.
