Medieval splendor
Figeac
Lively and authentic, Figeac is a dialogue between centuries. The city reveals a unique and rare heritage: medieval houses, Renaissance hotels, 18th century bourgeois buildings… The epochs and the styles intermingle harmoniously, giving the city a little air of Italy in Quercy. The city was the birthplace of Jean-François Champollion, the famous egyptologist, whose house has been transformed into a museum unique in Europe, the Musée Champollion – Les Écritures du Monde.
