Things to see and do Pays d'Auch

After housing the departmental archives in 1949, this former Carmelite convent, which has been closed for the past 10 years, has finally seen the light of day: an artistic playground open to all. In winter, the center welcomes artists in residence and offers cultural education projects, particularly for schools. In summer, Memento opens its doors to all with a group exhibition and a rich and varied cultural program: concerts, performances, conferences, workshops...

Located on the outskirts of the former chapel, this square is the only garden in the historic heart of Auch. Rehabilitated in 2020, the landscapers wanted to transform it into a contemporary garden in keeping with the history of the site, while preserving its current use. In fine weather, the garden invites you to take a bucolic break with its removable deckchairs, play area, dry garden, cool island and remarkable trees, including a large-flowered magnolia, Japanese maple and palm trees.
