The Lespugue Museum will allow you to discover the "Venus de Lespugue", a famous statuette dating back 23 000 years BC, discovered in 1922!

Apart from a th century sauveté, Sérillac Castle dates back to the end of the th century. In an austere style, he has been enrolled in Historical Monuments since 2002.

Patrick de Lary de Latour is mayor of the commune he has been named after since 2001. But he is also squire de Recycle-Latour! He has completely renovated his castle (with his wife!), who has been in his family for over six centuries.

Hat for this maintenance and the preservation of a family heritage. Conclude with a sentence that the Lord of the places made in a room: «Open your eyes, man always pressed, to build the future, contemplate the past».

Elian and Xavier da Silva are passionate about martial arts. With their association Military Collection, they have created a museum of veterans for freedom, whose name could be misleading.

You will see many uniforms, authentic weapons, memorabilia from the resistance against the German occupiers in the Southwest, American army vehicles, etc.

It took two years of work to transform the Museum of Prehistory (created in 1952) into a museum of art and archaeology. 3,500 objects from the excavations carried out in the surrounding scrublands, most of them dating from the Neolithic period, are displayed in twelve themed showcases. There are flint and bone tools, ceramics, arrows, etc., as well as a variety of other objects. Projected films explain how they were made and a touch screen displays clips.
