Completely restored by the City, the fabulous Art Pavilion and its rooftop terrace serving the funicular have been found for a few years. A former showers with showers from 1831 to 1884, he was one of the architectural witnesses of the first transformations of the city in the second half of the nineteenth century. It was in 1884 that the municipality bought the building to install the Casino (the Palais Beaumont will only be built in 1899). It is then a mondain place of life. With the arrival of the new century, the Pavilion and its whole area are changed, the palm grove is installed in 1900 and the funicular in 1908. The building is a remarkable technical work, monumental seen from below and discreet when it is at the top. His illusion of a two-tier building is a feat. It is used to host municipal events, offices, exhibitions, over the years. Today, this place for exhibitions with particularly those of CAUE 64, debates and cultural encounters is a real place of life in the city creating a link between its lower and upper parts.

Le long du boulevard des Pyrénées, on observe un décrochement face à la place Royale. Ne vous méprenez pas, ce n’est pas une simple terrasse mais le toit du Pavillon des Arts, inséré dans le coteau, qui joue le rôle de terminus supérieur du funiculaire qui relie la gare à la ville haute. La fontaine de Vigny y apporte une touche de couleur.
