The Halle de Mirande
This beautiful building in the style of the Halles Baltard in Paris dates from the end of the 19th century (1886). Its distinctive feature is its mixed architecture: it harmoniously combines a fine cut stone structure with an interior framework of iron, cast iron and wood.
Beautifully renovated in 2004, it is used for markets.
As stipulated in the charter of customs of the bastide town of Mirande, founded in 1281, the market day is still held on Mondays.
A small fresh produce market is also held every Saturday morning.
Theme markets are also organised from time to time: Basque market, European market, Christmas market....
The Halle de Mirande is also used for a variety of events.
The hall is accessible to people with reduced mobility, has accessible toilets, a bar and free parking.

Museum of Fine and Decorative Arts
The Musée des Beaux Arts de Mirande was founded in 1832 in the sub-prefecture of the southern Gers.
Founded by Joseph Delort, a prominent Mirande man of letters and art lover, who was in charge of the Fine Arts section of the Ministry of the Interior at the time, the Musée des Beaux Arts de Mirande boasts a remarkable collection of paintings. Italian, Flemish and French paintings from the 15th to the 19th century, mainly devoted to portraits.
Old decorative earthenware from the main workshops in south-west France completes the collection wonderfully, making this museum, along with the one in Auch, the richest collection of classical art in the Gers department.
All rooms, including the 1st floor, are accessible. Accessible toilets. Car park nearby.
