The area is also quite beautiful and has received 4 flowers in the competition of cities and villages in bloom. Spend your leisure time strolling through various parks and gardens. Areas of interest include the Palais des Festivals, the Musee de la Castre, and beautiful 19th century architecture dotted about the city.
