At the foot of the Roc d'Anglars, nestled in the Aveyron Gorge, Saint-Antonin boasts France's oldest civil monument, the Maison Romane.
Built in 1125, this former town hall, located in the heart of the medieval town on Place de la Halle, has been converted into a museum.
Founded in 1936 by the Association des Amis du vieux Saint-Antonin, the museum has grown steadily thanks to donations from local residents and the work of archaeologists.
In addition to its Arts and Traditions collections, it houses remarkable collections of local geology and paleontology, prehistory and a number of fossils and insects.
Don't miss the Maison de l'Amour (House of Love).
Even the friends of Vieux Saint-Antonin don't know exactly where it comes from.
Perhaps it's the sign of a bathing establishment.
These two jewels are part of the heritage of the town of Saint-Antonin, once called Condat, then Nobilis Valis in Roman times.
