Musée de la Résistance et de la Déportation

In the courtyard in front of the Musée Municipal de l'Évêché, an excavation project has revealed the archaeological remains of buildings that once occupied the site, including some Gallo-Roman ruins. Eventually it's hoped that the remains will be open to the public, but while the work's going on, the Musée de la Résistance et de la Déportation has been moved to the Chapelle de la Règle, behind the botanical gardens.

It's worth taking a stroll over - the museum contains some moving accounts of the exploits of the Resistance and the suffering of deportees during the war, supported by some fascinating wartime memorabilia, including photos, letters, diaries and military hardware.
