You will see many uniforms, authentic weapons, memorabilia from the resistance against the German occupiers in the Southwest, American army vehicles, etc.

The association also organizes awareness visits to aeronautics in the school and extracurricular context.

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.
