Monuments to visit Lunel

Wrongly nicknamed "Hôtel Philippe le Bel", this Gothic house has the characteristic layout of medieval residences. Its façade and decorative elements are representative of the civil architecture of the 13th and 14th centuries. The exterior of the house is dotted with ogival windows and the majority of them have carved decoration. These are difficult to interpret due to the complexity of medieval iconography. One of the elements present is a figurative figure holding two fleurs-de-lys, which would be a reference to the monarchy.

Located on the outskirts of the city centre, the bullring dates back to 1861. Since their last renovation in 2018, they can accommodate nearly 4,000 spectators. A major venue for bullfighting tradition, they are the scene of numerous Camargue races, bullfights and other entertainment such as the "toro piscine" during the summer months. All the great cocardiers have trodden this legendary track, the queen of free running, reputed to be very difficult by the razors. At the same time, the arenas are used as a backdrop for many other shows and concerts.
