The Dordogne is a land of tobacco cultivation and processing. Throughout the countryside, many tobacco drying barns can still be seen, and some farmers continue to grow this plant, which originally hails from South America, to this day. Initially used by indigenous peoples, tobacco has a history spanning more than 3,000 years—and this museum tells its fascinating story.
