Musée des Beaux-Arts

This museum is in an Episcopal palace built in the mid–17th century. The 900-strong art collection spans the 15th to the 20th centuries but focuses mainly on 19th century art with works by Gustave Doré, Brossard de Beaulieu, Camille Corot, and Paul Huet, as well as local artists William Bouguereau and Eugène Fromentin.


Note: Since 2018 the museum has been closed for renovations. An opening date has yet to be set, despite the many years that have passed.
