TERRITORIAL MUSEUM
Read moreLocated on the first floor of the Wall House next to the Hôtel de la Collectivité, the museum is dedicated to the island's historic heritage. The building, which dates back to the 18th century, was entirely restored by Compagnons in 1995. The ruins of a bread oven can be seen outside the building. The museum brings to life the great hours that presided over the island's development, through documents and photographs, and an exhibition of period objects and costumes. Temporary exhibitions are held on a regular basis.
MAJOR'S HOUSE (FORMER TREASURY)
Read moreThe Major's House was intended for the head of the garrison and the police in the 1780s. This building was successively court, school and then fire station. The deed of retrocession of the island to France was signed within these walls on March 16, 1878. After an identical renovation in 2006 intended to restore its original character, its walls were covered with wainscoting and its roof with essences. It now houses administrative services.
