Free visit of the mayor’s office and its painted ceiling decorated with plants and animals.
It is a real menagerie that reveals itself in the middle of a colorful vegetal decoration!
These elements were painted in 1685 by Jacques Roumegous at the time when the building was still the private mansion of a notable. The city’s consuls bought the building in 1728 to make it a «common house», ancestor of the town hall.
About 80 birds are represented there as well as other animals, dogs, fox, monkey... Everything is quite well preserved despite the years.
