This weekend, Pamiers will come alive for the European Heritage Days. A varied program will offer visitors the opportunity to (re)discover the city from a different perspective, through its cultural and historical heritage, with visits, exhibitions and activities that will delight young and old alike. A perfect opportunity to extend the tribute to Gabriel Fauré – paid on Sunday, September 15, the last at the Notre-Dame-du-Camp church in Pamiers – while exploring the hidden treasures of the composer’s birthplace.
