Centre de la Vieille Charité

In the heart of the Panier, step inside a former hospice arranged around a large courtyard and galleries on three levels. Its chapel with an oval dome, designed by Pierre Puget, is the centrepiece of the complex. La Vieille Charité now houses museums and exhibitions, a place to combine architecture, a stroll and cultural discoveries depending on the programme.
