Old Hospital chapel. Apothecary's dispensary dating from the early 19th century. Triptych dating from the 16th century on display in the "tisanerie" (dispensary of herbal remedies). Nuns' workroom.
You can also take a step back in time to 1900.
Open to the public until 1939, the Apothecary's conserves a rare collection of 120 Meillonnas earthenware pots. The "La Lamentation" tryptic, housed in the tisanerie, was painted in 1527. You can stroll through a garden of medicinal plants, go back in time to 1900 with the exhibition space paying tribute to our ancestors, and also get to know Philibert Commerson, physician and naturalist to the king in the 18th century.

Guided tours of the Apothecary's are available ONLY.
The "Life in the Dombes in 1900" exhibition is open to the public on request.
