Basilique Saint-Michel

Brilliant museum with exhibits from the Old Stone Age through Roman times to the early modern period.

An enlightening walk through the history of western art. Start in the south wing which runs from the Renaissance via the Flemish masters to end of 18th century. The north wing continues through the major 19th and early 20th-century art movements. Exhibitions are in the annexe, Galerie des Beaux-Arts, on Place du Colonel Raynal 200 m north.

Remarkable building, the Entrepôt Lainé is a huge 19th warehouse for food imports. Most of the space is given over to changing exhibitions and installations (and prices are reduced whenever there isn't one). Display of the permanent collection also rotates.

Started as a garden of medicinal herbs in 1629, the present garden dates from 1858 and covers 0.5 ha. This is the original now specified as "du Jardin Publique". In 2003 an offshoot garden de la Bastide was opened across the river.

History, old equipment and new technology from 2000 years of wine production in the region. The entry fee includes a taste of two wines. (grape juice for children)
