With your Museum Barberini tickets, you can check out several rotating temporary exhibitions during your visit, featuring artists ranging from Van Gogh and Richter to Picasso and Monet.

After that, the site turned into a pilgrimage site and in 966 a Benedictine abbey was built. Later, the island had been fortified and resisted the wars in 14th and 15th centuries. Then the site became a state prison under the French revolution until Napoleon III decided to close it in 1863. You will learn about the architecture but also the legends of the site with an opportunity to eat one the three local dishes : soufflé omelet, lamb or mussles.
