Monuments to visit France

Dominating the valleys of Guil and Durance, the stronghold of Mount Dauphin, the original work of Vauban, was perfected throughout the th and th centuries. In France, it is the only such complete and well-preserved fortress that combines military and civilian elements. Mont-Dauphin is the archetype of mountain square. Monument inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The citadel and ramparts have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 7 July 2008. A recognition that Mont-Louis shares with Villefranche de Conflent. Having never been a member of a GE, except in a Spanish incursion in 1794 which was quickly pushed back by the ge n\ ral Ral (1736-1794), the strong place has reached its original state. So it's a fairly unique place that we can be able to cover. The story goes back to the Traite ́ des Pyre ́ es, sign in 1659, when the high cantons of Cerdanya and Du become franc. After 20 years, unable to exchange this province of Roussillon against a larger territory of Flanders, Louis XIV de\ acdi to build a strong place at the crossroads of communication routes between Capcir, Cerdanya and Conflent, to mark the new frontie re with Spain. In 1679, he entrusted the construction project to Vauban, which chose this site stratum ́ lysergic. In less than 2 years, it became what it is today, the highest strengthens city of France, and took the name Mont-Louis in honour of the Sun King.

This second-class bathroom, opened for the first time to bathers in June 1858, was built by the British architect Charles Badger, who also signed the Company's Cottage and the Casino. Recently, in 2008, the gallery was set up in a café-restaurant, where there are no fewer than 500 appointments (singing and dance courses, exhibitions, conferences, workshops…), spread over the months of October to May.

Since 1996, the Compagnie du Théâtre de l'Interchange resides. She gives her creations, but also courses and courses. See for the beauty of the site, which also welcomes the feast of bread and autumn feast, every year. The site also hosts the Festival de la Key des Champs organised by the Théâtre de l'Interchange and the course of Art Path making… from Atelier d'Estienne.

The Hotel Dieu de Carpentras, built in the middle of the XVIIIᵉ century, was one of the hospitals of the capital of the Comtat Venaissin, with its 10,000^{m2 of} surface area, it was the most imposing. It was commissioned by Joseph-Dominique d'Inguimbert, known as Dom Malachie, bishop of Carpentras. Its construction began in 1750, and it was served, according to the will of the bishop, by hospitable nuns from 1764. Beautifully renovated, the building houses since 2017 the Library-Museum L'Inguimbertine. Guided tours are proposed by the O.T. Registration is compulsory.

Landerneau has several beautiful houses, symbols of its rich past:

The Maison de la Duchesse Anne, place du Marché, is easy to find. After hosting the offices of the Tourist Office, she received a full renovation. It will offer a tea room on the ground floor, as well as a museum on the first floor (remaining floors remaining private). Dated in 1664, this beautiful residence has a series of glass windows that occupy a large part of the northern pignon. On the façade, a statue of the Risen Christ is inserted into a niche.

La Maison de Notre-Dame-de-Rumengol, at 3 St-Thomas Street, attracts a look. His name recalls the passage of pilgrims who went to Rumengol, a few kilometers away, and gathered in front of the statue of Notre Dame. This house has undergone few changes since its construction. The wedding of the pink stones of the Aber Ildut and the yellow stones of Logonna give it a unique aspect.

Re-opened to the public after several campaigns of archaeological excavations, the site of Roc'h Morvan Castle is really worth a look. Located on a rocky promontory, it overlooks the Elorn valley at a height of more than 70 m. An interpretive tour offers you the opportunity to learn more about the ruins of the castle while walking around. We follow with curiosity the singular history of this imposing fortress while discovering its defensive and spatial organization. An ideal walk to do with the children.

The Hotel des Échevins was built in 1489, on a space "released" by the great fire of 1487. He draws on the Gallo-Roman wall of Bourges. It is an essential monument to the city. At night during Night Nights it offers a magical setting to the projections on its stone walls. A rectangular rectangular body includes on the ground floor the large hall equipped with a monumental fireplace and the board of the jury vaulted stone and the fire test. The Hotel des Échevins was the headquarters of the municipality for three centuries. Its interior is just as interesting as its walls. Many sculpted decorations celebrate Berry's sheep, whose wool was so important to the city's wealth and influence. This Gothic style building was influenced by the decoration of the Jacques Coeur Palace: arches in accolade, pinacles, frayed cabbage. The false windows of sculpted characters adorning the octagonal tower will be delighted: These are sergeants of town that go to the pass. Admiring them will entertain children. In 1624, a new gallery body inspired by the Renaissance architecture treaties was added to the existing building. The Hotel des Échevins has been completely restored. It was built in a museum and now offers visitors to discover the works of the painter Maurice Estève, from Culan.
