LE CARMEL

This magnificent building, an 18th-century monastery tucked away in the heart of Pamiers' historic center, is a must-see. This historic site, occupied by nuns, exudes a special atmosphere of serenity and mystery. The Carmel was bought by the town council over 10 years ago, and has just been transformed into a contemporary art exhibition venue that has quickly become a must-see, given the quality and originality of its exhibits. The contrast of modern art in this place steeped in history is worth the trip alone.
