Things to see and do France

This building is an indisputable masterpiece of local classical architecture. He's got a little Trianon. He was refurnished in the twentieth century by collectors who mixed the times. Inside, a large number of renowned paintings by renowned painters combine exceptional furniture and décor. So he only visits with a guide. For an hour, you will find the living rooms and rooms decorated with tapestries and coordinated curtains. Rare furniture there are many (a 10-wheeler from revolutionary times, a watercolor chair, a deer table on foot…). Its owners have also restored the English-style park with its beautiful trees, including many rare trees. The park has been classified as a "remarkable Garden" since 2004. In the evenings, there is also a beautiful hippomobile museum, a comfortable stable and the saddle.

The Pont des Vendéens, also named Pont de Pontlieue, was completed in Le Mans during the xie century. It was a stone bridge crossing the Huisne. In particular, he is famous for being undermined by the mantle troops during the Vendean insurgency. The bridge was destroyed before the vendeans arrived in the city, just before the battle of the Battle du Mans.

The remains of the bridge were preserved and are still visible and accessible as public park, near Newton promenade. Subsequently a new bridge was built at a hundred meters from the old bridge, this is the new Pont de Pontlieue.

Place Saint-François is named after the Franciscan monastery (13th century), abandoned and demolished during the Revolution. Only a small part of the cloister is left from the Minor Saint-François convent. The clock tower, recently restored, dominates the lively square that host the famous fish market around a small fountain with dolphins from Tuesday to Sunday. The Municipal Palace (former Town Hall), still present and in Turin baroque style, dates from the 16th century: restored several times and classified as a Historical Monument since 1949, it is one of the few public buildings of the old town in baroque style and has housed the Labour Exchange since 1893.

3 museums in 1: this is the concept of the three Musées museums! Its first pole - agricultural mechanisation - presents more than 500 pieces of smaller hand tools to the combine. The second pole - Space Gutenberg - has five centuries of technical evolution in the printing field. A rural factor, the third pole recounts 150 years of postal history in Berry. On the first floor, the museum has a temporary exhibition room, which brought to the fore the work of Patrick van Ingen, a chainsaw sculptor, resident in the town of Prissac in 2014.

That Bergerac is pretty! For this reason, for the very heart that we have for this village, we want to invite you to visit it. Around you, the buildings will be in a pure and bucolic charm. Good news: The town of Bellerive, a charming hotel restaurant in Bergerac has reopened its doors recently, so run it! Finally, namely: The Autumn Grain Festival took place from August 27 to October 28 in 2011 (open-air cinema, film/debate evenings, concerts, tales, theatre, theatre, photographies, photographs of photography, night harvest, this was the 2011 program… We are looking forward to the 2012 programme!): as we print the guide, we are not yet aware of the dates of the 2012 edition, but all of your diaries to book you a weekend in this time to attend this festival in and around Bergerac!

This museum complements the visit of Health, evoking the family of George Sand and his friends. It contains objects that belonged to the family, letters and drafts of George Sand, engravings of his son Maurice and paintings from the school of Crozant (Fernand Maillaud, Paul Street, Henri Kept). It is located in the Donjon dungeon (th) and is not accessible for wheelchairs or strollers. One can also admire an astonishing collection of naturalized birds. Educational visits are organized.

Its steeple with the square tower shapes stands above the monumental portal of entry: on the little square dedicated to him, the church of Notre-Dame which used to defend the village lost nothing of its superb. Built in the th century, it housed an arms room and, over time, the kings of the Baroque, the Ferrere brothers, illuminated its interior by providing their mastery of foil and sculpture. A magnificent reissue that bears their feet and represents the assumption of the Virgin is still visible, and it was during its installation in the th century that the name of Sainte-Catherine church was abandoned for its current patronymic. A th-century Pietà is still there and a Roman chevet. A marvel to see for its exterior sobriety and the golden exuberance of its furnishings.

The François Desnoyer collection is a place open to the arts and creation. Its reserve fund was built up from François Desnoyer's bequest of more than 700 pieces in 1972. This journey into the world of art continues with paintings from the 19th (E. Boudin, Ecole de Barbizon) and 20th centuries (several Utrillo, Marquet and Modigliani). In addition to the richness of the exhibitions (especially temporary and beautifully made), the scenography is superb. To be discovered without fail!
