It is a place of information, meeting and education on the heritage of the department of Mayenne in its most diverse forms: archaeology, monuments, fauna, flora, landscapes, know-how… There are also permanent exhibitions or temporary that change throughout the year. There are also models, interactive desks, explanatory panels.
Did you know that the CIAP visit is free on the first Sunday of each month. But the price remains modest, even with the family and it is coupled with the visit of the archaeological center of Jublains, but closed until January 31.
You are curious about the knowledge of our department. Whether you prefer a theme on the rural world, the construction of cities and their development, archaeology, sacred art, popular arts and traditions, the environment and nature, industry, agriculture. Make your choice. Stroll through the floors of the Interpretation Centre. Observe from the ramparts that surround the courtyard of the Castle the landscape that opens onto the Coëvrons massif.
In addition, you can also visit the Auditorium Museum which houses very old objects and allows you to discover major historical events from the Celtic period to the present day in eight rooms where models and archive documents are installed.
I wish you a good Sunday. And to complete your urban visit, the shops will welcome you. And the hike in all that. I recommend the tour of the Cité from the Porte du Guichet. Visiting the village very close to the river on the banks of the Erve is a real pleasure.
