ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES AND MUSEUM OF MONTMAURIN
Read moreThe site on which the pretty village of Montmaurin extends today has been inhabited since prehistoric times. It has a unique archaeological heritage, thanks in particular to the presence of the remains of two Gallo-Roman villas, known as Lassalles and Hillière, excavated between 1949 and 1970. Since 2020, a new museum highlights these ancient treasures through a well-organized tour. A good introduction before the discovery of the site.
Built in the first century AD, the villa Lassalles would have developed until around 350 before being redesigned. It is one of the largest and most luxurious villas known in France: its buildings covered an area of nineteen hectares! It had no less than two hundred rooms closed by bay windows, decorated with marble or mosaics, and enjoyed a very modern comfort since it benefited from a heating system by the ground (the famous hypocaust!) and from running water. Excavations have brought to light the remains of the vestibule, the temple, the nymphaeum, several courtyards and many living rooms.
The villa of Hillière is, as for it, organized around a powerful source, with the closest of Save. It adjoins the chapel of Notre-Dame de la Hillière where the restored mosaics are exhibited. The museum, established in the heart of the village, exhibits the collected objects and offers various documents allowing to trace the history of the place.

COURT HENRI IV
Read moreHenri IV gives his name to the court which allows to pass from square Charles de Gaulle to the place du Capitole and by which it absolutely must pass to access the Hall of Famous. The king brought additional money to the completion of the court, which runs apart from the municipal building. The Capitouls in exchange made him a statue, as a thank you. Many events took place over the centuries, from the execution of the Duke of Montmorency, who dared to intrigue against the royal power under Louis XIII, to various exhibitions and varied. Attention, access can be closed at the back of the Place du Capitole for security reasons.
FORTIFICATION OF ARMAND-DUPORTAL BOULEVARD
Read moreAfter the capture of the city by William IX of Poitiers in 1098, the pink city was surrounded by a new enclosure, presumably along the present great boulevards of Strasbourg, Arcole, Lacrosse and Armand-Duportal. This medieval fortification has recently been the subject of a restoration led by the City Architecture service. Sheltered from the rampart, the gardens were also rehabilitated. They offer 2 600 m ² of lawns and 1 300 shrubs, between the Brienne Canal and the Caffarelli-Caffarelli garden. A place where you can learn more about the history of the city and enjoy a wonderful place to relax and relax.
