How many days

Two days for the two museums and one chosen rural outing.

When to go

May to September usually makes visiting the open-air museum easier. In winter, from December to February, the short days call for focusing on indoor sites and confirming available circuits.

The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.

Do you need a car?

The museums are not next to each other; urban transport covers part of the route and a car makes visiting the rural churches easier.
