The Fayet Mansion House was built during the XVIIth century and then enlarged in the XIXth century. It is one of the most beautiful architectural gems of the city. Originally owned by the Fayet family (including Gustave Fayet, a wealthy entrepreneur, collector and painter), this mansion house was first an elegant mansion including a large artist?s studio before being transformed into a museum once the building has been sold to the township in 1966.

Former headquarters of the old Art Museum located in the Fabrégat Mansion, the Fayet private mansion is now exhibiting part of the extraordinary collection of XIXth century old paintings, from the romantic period until the IIIth French Republic academic painters, including Delacroix, Géricault, Corot or even Cabanel. The core collection of Jean-Antoine Injalbert from Béziers constitutes one of its other main attractions. As a neo-baroque artist largely made up of Italian and French influences, Injalbert has been one of the most sought sculptors of his time. His incomparable talent as a modeler can now be seen through the permanent inner path focused on the presentation of his preparatory works and sketches.
