Léon-Alegre Museum
Housed in a Moorish residence built in the 19th century, the Léon-Alègre museum presents a rich collection of local archeology and numerous old drawings representing the region.
The Léon Alègre fund
Several old representations of Bagnols-sur-Cèze, as well as a beautiful set of drawings of the surrounding villages produced by Léon Alègre (1813-1884), local scholar and founder of the museum, complete this rich collection of local history.
The museum presents collections of archaeological objects from the Courac site in Tresques, the Camp de César in Laudun (Gard), the Saint-Vincent oppidum in Gaujac (Gard) and that of Lombren in Vénéjan (Gard) .
You can also discover the remains of a mosaic discovered accidentally in 1967 during construction work on the Marcoule atomic power station on the ancient site of Cadenet. It represents a labyrinth surrounded by a powerful rampart.
