The best museums Midi-Pyrénées

In addition to making itself available for backpackers for information on the trails, flora and fauna, Maison du Parc National is also a museum space open to all, children and adults, but also for the disabled for the place is equipped for them. From your trip on the three floors of the museum, you will leave with extensive knowledge on izards (flagship of the Park), on bats and the flora and fauna that inhabit the mountains. You can touch, listen and look. The short videos are very educational, photographs are magical. The park rangers also offer videos, conferences and theme outings.

Right from the wooden storefront, we know we're in for a trip back in time! Hardware, grocery, hosiery... We're standing in front of the home of Maurice Souquet (a visionary in his day). In the 19th and 20th centuries, this store, which closed in the 50s, was the "hub" for peddlers, who stocked up on supplies before setting off to sell their wares on the roads and paths of the many valleys, on their way to the most remote villages. This interesting museum is entirely dedicated to them. A must-see!

A place of magic, nostalgia and poetry, this is the unique concept of the Academy of Miniatures and Snacks. It is on the right bank of the Tarn, opposite the cathedral of Sainte-Cécile, that you will have the opportunity to discover this unusual museum. Inside, the works of Annie Jaurès, a passionate reconstructor, are exhibited and presented by her daughter. The story of this surprising collection began with the artist's deep attachment to his childhood home. She spent her life as a model maker reconstructing each of the pieces of this formidable residence. On a scale of 1:7, the house and its elements are reproduced with breathtaking fidelity. Take the time to venture into this timeless space and let yourself be told the many stories of the mistress of the place. A friendly and charming museum to discover.
