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.

Dommage qu'on ne visite pas plus la prison qui tombe en décrépitude par manque d'entretien.

C'est un très bel endroit malgré le passé de ce lieu. Mais il a été transformé en musée qui nous a impressionné

Ancienne prison a visiter,très intéressant et instructif 'vie carcérale difficile 'on se demande pourquoi des personnes font des retours répétitifs dans ces endroits'. Un autre monde que l on a pas envie d expérimenté 'meme du côté des surveillants respect a ceux ci'une partie de la visite est consacrée a la résistance 'tres bien documentée mais surtout émouvante

Encontramos el museo casi por casualidad.
Se trata de una antigua cárcel, reconvertida en museo, sólo hay acceso al primer pabellón, o al menos fue así esta Semana Santa

Une belle visite dans ce lieu chargé d'histoire. Les éléments de la visite sont très instructifs. On ne visite que le castellet pas la partie détention mais les salles et interactions sont très bien faites. Souvent couplé avec une exposition temporaire en l'occurrence les dessins de street art au pochoir de l'artiste C215 avec une galerie de portraits emblématiques. Entrée gratuite. Réservation conseillée pour les visites guidées.
