These lost ruins in the heart of the city centre raise questions. It is in fact an old cloister, listed as a historical monument in 1940, the year of its destruction. In the 17th century, this enclosed space was home to the Grey Nuns, who belonged to the last order of Saint Francis and were named after the colour of their habit. Their days are devoted to contemplation and the search for the divine word. During the Revolution, the place was transformed into a factory, before being destroyed during the Second World War. Today you can still admire the galleries and arcades.

Dommage de ne pas avoir plus de renseignements sur ce lieu. L'endroit est insolite et mériterait d'être bien davantage mis en valeur.

Le cloitre des soeurs grises dont il ne reste pratiquement rien. Ce lieu accueillait, auparavant, des spectacles. C'est un endroit un peu perdu au milieu de la ville. Mais il vaut le détour car il est insolite.
