JACQUES CHIRAC MUSEUM
All areas of the museum are accessible to people with reduced mobility thanks to access ramps and elevators
Jacques Chirac had entrusted the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte with the design, a stone's throw from his Château de Bity, of a museum to house the gifts offered, in the exercise of his duties, by heads of state and personalities from all over the world. From wool embroidery, a gift from Quebec Prime Minister Lucien Bouchard, to dromedaries in an oasis, made of fine gold and precious stones, from King Fahd Ben Abdul-Aziz Al Saoud, it is a sumptuous and enchanting journey. A trip around the world where bamboo masks from Malakula Island rub shoulders with African totems and Asian pottery.

To see all floors, allow a good 2 hours. Fortunately not everything is exposed, the 5000 gifts given to the Presidency during the 12 years of the reign Chirac
Sometimes beautiful temporary exhibitions are presented, like the political pictures taken during 30 years by Raymond Depardon
