Château-Museum Saint Jean

Overlooking an immense horizon of undulating plains, as Victor Hugo so eloquently put it, the château houses both a permanent exhibition dedicated to 19th century life in the region as well as highly regarded temporary exhibitions on ancient or contemporary art.

The Tomb of the Duke of Sully, the three churches in the town, among which is the Notre Dame and its ‘Nativity Group’, and the older districts of the town with their ancient dwellings, make up the other jewels of the town.
