You will find in this barn 3 carriages and two horse-drawn hearses.

The carriage is a car that was used primarily for walking, during the beautiful season.

The old hearse could be, according to the size of the communes or the parishes, and according to the importance of the funerary ritual, either a simple handcart, pushed or pulled by men, or a larger vehicle, with four wheels, with a canopy more or less adorned, pulled by one or more horses.

La calèche est une voiture qui servait essentiellement à la promenade, pendant la belle saison.

Le corbillard ancien pouvait être, selon la taille des communes ou des paroisses, et en fonction de l'importance du rituel funéraire, soit une simple charrette à bras, poussée ou tirée par des hommes, soit un véhicule plus important, à quatre roues, avec un baldaquin plus ou moins orné, tiré par un ou plusieurs chevaux.
