Musée des Tapisseries
Historic tapestries occupy the former state rooms of the archbishop's palace near Saint-Sauveur Cathedral. The visit brings woven storytelling together with the setting of an important religious residence.

Follow the figures and scenes across the tapestry cycles, rather than looking at each hanging only as decoration. The Don Quixote series offers one way into this visual storytelling. The surrounding rooms also matter: their former ceremonial role gives the textiles a setting that differs from an ordinary gallery, while temporary exhibitions add another reason to check the programme.
