80 registered sites and monuments as well as 23 classified sites and monuments which have been bequeathed by history to the Land of Art and History of the Pays Midi-Quercy.
To help you discover or rediscover the riches of our local heritage, the Midi-Quercy region of art and history offers a programme of events each season in partnership with the region's cultural stakeholders. Far from being dusty, the heritage comes to life and passes on the secrets of its legacy to you. Knowing it better, passing it on better and promoting it in order to better preserve it, that is the challenge of our action.
On the program: visits, conferences, workshops, discovery hikes, exhibitions and so on! The best thing is to read the program!
What is the purpose of a Country of Art and History label?
The label awarded last January concerns the 49 municipalities of the Pays Midi-Quercy and we are proud of this collective success which mobilized the actors and partners of the region.
It brings recognition of the quality of the heritage in the territory; but above all, it demonstrates the desire of the Pays Midi-Quercy to rely on this heritage as a development tool. Heritage will allow us to work transversally in the fields of culture, tourism, regional planning, action aimed at children, but also ecological transition and the environment.
“Cities and Countries of Art and History” is an official French label awarded since 1985 by the Ministry of Culture and Communication to municipalities or countries in France which engage in a policy of animation and promotion of their built, natural and industrial heritage, as well as architecture. »
