Cahors Henri-Martin Museum

Housed in a former episcopal palace, this museum holds one of the Lot region's most significant collections, spanning archaeology, regional heritage, and fine art dating back to 1833. The real draw is its dedicated showcase of post-Impressionist painter Henri Martin, a Cahors native whose luminous, pointillist-influenced work you won't find celebrated like this anywhere else. It's a surprisingly rich stop that covers serious ground without overwhelming you.
