This collection of Renaissance to 20C art features 30 paintings by Bonnard and works by dozens of other notable artists.

This 16C Renaissance mansion with an Italian-influenced courtyard is home to the Bemberg Foundation.

Beautiful buildings are all around you while strolling the narrow streets of Old Toulouse.

With its bare exterior and lavish interior, this convent is a superb monastic structure with amazing 16C murals.

With more than 4,000 works, this museum displays works from the Middle Ages to the early 20C, from all genres and schools.

A great archaeological museum offering a fine collection of Roman sculptures.

In addition to a comprehensive ornithology collection, this museum's mammal gallery is a credit to its on-site taxidermy workshop.
