A place of memory in Toulouse, with an atypical architecture impregnated with utopia, with interactive terminals and exhibitions

A place of memory and interpretation, Le Castelet retraces 150 years of a very special history: that of the former Saint-Michel prison. Although the prison itself cannot be visited, the castle-like entrance pavilion - or castelet - explains its often painful past. Life stories, daily prison life, the Resistance (Marcel Langer...), the Liberation in 1944: interactive terminals and exhibits tell the story of those who passed through these walls. This monumental complex, exceptional for its atypical utopian architecture, was designed by architect Jacques-Jean Esquié in the late 19th century. Guided tours regularly scheduled.

S'amuser est très intéressant. Les témoignages de personnes ayant connu cette prison, tel que directeur de prison, gardiens, infirmieres, avocats, psychologues, prisonniers sont très enrichissants. Je regrette seulement qu'on ne voit pas plus d'éléments de la prison en vrai, tel que de cellules, couloirs, chemins de rondes, cours....

Musée sur la prison St Michel... J'aurais aimé visiter l'intérieur des blocs. Mais l'histoire de cette dernière est très bien décrite dans une belle exposition.

Intéressant, beau bâtiment et belle rénovation. Les témoignages sont intéressants. Par contre très déçus qu'on ne puisse pas visiter les cellules ni rien de la prison.
