THE HERITAGE HOUSE

The Maison du Patrimoine, ideally located in a restored barn on the Place Bad König, immerses you in the history of Argentat-sur-Dordogne. You'll discover archaeological remains and the construction techniques used to build gabares, the emblematic flat-bottomed boats. A fascinating documentary recounts the epic story of the local barge industry. If you come in summer, don't miss the free guided tours of the town, which will reveal all its secrets. Temporary exhibitions are also organized to complete this immersion in the region's rich heritage. A must for history buffs.
