Museum
In 1968, a museum of prehistory was established in the town to house a collection of Aurignacian artefacts from the local site and others in France and abroad. The poor standard of accommodation for the museum resulted in its closure in 2006 and the institution of a project to build a larger museum and library complex on the southern edge of the town.
