The Musée Lapidaire occupies a Baroque Jesuit chapel on adjacent Rue de la République, while Musée Calvet, Musée Requien, and Musée Angladon cluster 5 minutes away on Rue Joseph Vernet in elegant mansions showcasing arts and history. Medieval streets fan out to Place des Corps Saints and the Church of the Célestins, linking uphill to Palais des Papes, Cathédrale Notre-Dame des Doms, and Rhône River views in the compact heritage core filled with cafés and boutiques.
