COLLAR MONASTERY

In the rue d'Angoulême, coming from the place François ^Ier on the left, you'll find the Récollets convent, which today houses the Maison des associations, with meeting and exhibition rooms. Founded in the ^17th century, this building features a remarkable rib-vaulted hall, a beautiful wrought-iron staircase and a covered well in the inner courtyard, which is listed as a historic monument. Niches and medallions testify to the building's history, first as a convent, then as a courthouse, and finally as a cultural and social venue owned by the town.
