The Terre d'Argence, located at the confluence of the south, offers many enriching discoveries through museums. Here are two must-see museums in Beaucaire and Vallabrègues.
History and Archaeology in Beaucaire
Auguste Jacquet Museum
Le Auguste Jacquet Museum is installed in the listed gardens of the Beaucaire fortress, residence of the Counts of Toulouse. It occupies the buildings of a former convent built in the 1870s.
Labeled a Museum of France, the museum features several rooms dedicated to exploring Beaucaire and its rich past. Arranged over two levels, the museum presents collections of archaeological finds and ancient coins, and, above all, traces the rise of the town of Beaucaire, beginning with the establishment of the Foire de la Madeleine, a major trading center in the south of France.
From Antiquity to the 19th century, wander from room to room, through the history of Beaucaire and let yourself be seduced by its collections, testimony to the cultural singularity of this Rhone city.

Basketry Museum
The charming village of Vallabrègues is home to a unique museum... the Vannerie Museum. This museum pays homage to the traditional art of basketry, an ancient practice that was the heartbeat of this village. Here, you'll discover the history of the region's basket makers and admire incredibly fine pieces of craftsmanship. Craft enthusiasts will be inspired by live demonstrations of weaving natural fibers that imprison time. Don't miss the basketry festival, held every August!
