The old town centre has several squares and narrow medieval streets.

We liked the rue d'Alsace-Lorraine/rue du Languedoc, for shopping it is quite a long street.

On Wednesday there is a large general market where you can buy anything. It is a mixture of food, clothes and a feamarket it is at Place du Capitole. There is a food market on Tuesday and Saturday mornings in the same place.
