ARCHIVES DEPARTEMENTALES DE L'HERAULT

Created under the Revolution, the departmental archives keep records on the history of Hérault and the former Languedoc province from the ninth century to the present. Curious, professional and private are welcomed in the former Couvent convent, in the Fine Arts district, before being able to integrate their new premises in the north-west of the city. The general council has chosen to build a Pharaoh building (a cost exceeding 130 M €!) to accommodate the valuable archives. For the time being, history buffs can immerse themselves in almost 40 km of archives! Thematic workshops are also proposed around the culture and history of local heritage. Note: an educational and cultural service is available to students and teachers.
