LA PLACE DES ORMEAUX VALENCE

The place Belat is going to be renovated, and therefore the archeological service decided to do some researches on this area because a first search in 2002 had showed many antique vestiges. The place and the fine arts museum are still accessible.

The fine arts museum takes place in the ancient bishop's palace. You can see fine arts from 16th century till today, but also an archeological gallery, an exceptional collection from the sanguines (red chalk drawings) and paintings from the French painter Hubert Robert (1733-1808). It is the most important collection of works of this artist along with those ot the Louvre and St Petersburg.
