Walked by on many occasions never thought to stop in,sure glad we did,simply an outstanding and distinctive display of the works of Dom Robert. I recognized the work,from a magazine article or a art book that I saw some years past.Just the amount of time/work that goes into a tapestry is AMAZING. Great visit,the school museum that is in the same building(same entry ticket) is so,so,and a bit of an anticlimax,so I would suggest to see that area first.

Home of a young Toulouse Lautrec it is a beautiful building with a great collection of his art. There are also items of local history and a beautiful garden with views over the river.

The Benedictine Abbey was founded in 754 at the foot of the Black Mountain. Throughout its history, the Abbey has undergone numerous changes : a seminary, a Royal Military School under the reign of Louis XVI, and then , under the director ship of Father Lacordaire, a famous and internationally well known school. Military, writers, philosophers and politicians were trained there, until its closure in 1991. Since 1993, the joint trade union has renovated this classified historic building and has been the subject of an ambitious project for the development of tourism and culture.The Sorèze Abbey-School is recognized as a pole of excellence and listed among the major attractions in Midi-Pyrénées.
The abbaye effectively contains two museums in one. Firstly the royal school covering centuries of education, gives a very good insight into the life of students yesteryear, but even better is the museum dedicated to the work of Frère Robert who brought a new sense to wall carpets and art. It is rare to find a museum so well laid out and enjoyable to spend time in. Well worth a visit.

Everywhere you go in Languedoc you will see streets and squares named after the orator and socialist politician Jean Jaures. This collection of things about him and his life is well worth visiting. Not much is in English but it is easy enough to work out. Great to see a socialist so honoured.

With our tour group, my wife and I toured the Goya Museum. We saw many fantastic artifacts and paintings, but my wife counted only three paintings by Goya. Thus, if your main desire is to look at Goya paintings, you're likely to be disappointed. On the other hand, if you want to see a fantastic array of art objects, then you'll be pleased with what's here. I thought many of the items (e.g., a helmet in the first room and a painting of a standing man with faces in parts of his clothing) were beyond photogenic. The area surrounding the museum is wonderful, also.
