Champollion Museum, at Figeac
Figeac, medieval town with an exceptionnal architectural heritage, shelters the native home of Jean-François Champollion, born in 1790, famous for deciphering the hierogliphics. The place evokes today the man and the passionate researcher, while a splendid collection features the country of the pharaohs, the hierogliphic writing and the splendid remnants of the life in the Beyond, near the god Osiris. In the surroundings, you will be charmed by the beauty of nature, alternating valleys and limestone plateaus, strewn with jewels such as the Abbey of Conques, Rocamadour and the castles of the Lot and Dordogne valleys.

Château of the month
LE CHÂTEAU DE LA BARRE
In the Loire region, not far from Vendôme and in the midst of the wooded hills of the Perche, the Château de la Barre was witness to the Hundred Years War.
On the estate fortified during the 16th and 17th centuries, the castle was extended and embellished over the years. The successive refurbishments have given authenticity and nobility to the residence.
Surrounded by a vast parkland, handed on for centuries from father to son, the castle revives today an art of living that an 18th century gentleman would admire.
This preserved setting, strewn with works of art, superb fabrics and fine antics, does not compromise on contemporary comfort; and one can share the exquisite family dinner in the impressive dining room.
