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.

Motivaría más que algo del material estuviera en castellano, ya que no fueron pocos los españoles que acabaron en esa prisión.
