It is easy to find pavillon as the building is very characteristic and located near a highly attended Place de la comedie. We have seen two exhibitions, one presenting photos from ghettos and the other one presenting propaganda photos of Hitler, taken by his faithful, personal photographer. Both were interesting and moving, for me particularly as I am from Poland, where the majority of the photographed ghettos were located. Short but informative descriptions help to understand the photos but do not dominate them. A great supplement to the history lessons. A bit too heavy topic for summertime and holidays, so the exhibition was not crowded. But well organized and worth seeing for sure.

This little plaza bustles with activity. Several narrow walking streets stretch into the historic district. Walk as many of these streets as you can. This area was my wife's favorite stop of a 4 week trip in Europe. Shops with displays of clothes, postcards, dry goods, novelties and souvenirs in the narrow corridors, banners overhead, open windows above decorated with planters and the occasional laundry, cafes, and a church. The historical area is much larger than I expected for this size city. Just roam around, get lost, take in the atmosphere.
