and artifacts from countries far and wide. The museum is part of a
working farm here in Gascony. They specialize in making products
from honey in the traditional way and produce various home-made
sweets using antique machinery. As well as a rich variety of
honeys, they also make their own nougat, wax candles, sunflower oil,
various flours, apertifs and mead - it makes a change from wine!
