Local Artists
Nerida de Jong
There are fantastic museums and galleries to explore on day trips out of St. Cirq Lapopie, but there are also wonderful artists right in the village itself and in the neighboring area.
Whether you spend an afternoon visiting their galleries, or give yourself some extra time to stop by a gallery on your way to lunch, you will feel much rewarded by the time spent getting to know some of these artists and their work. Below is a partial list of local artists.

Local Museums
Pierre Daura and the Daura House
The Spanish-born artist, Pierre Daura, studied in Barcelona and made his career in Virginia, painting landscapes. He lived in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie from 1930 to 1939 and every summer thereafter until his death in 1976. His daughter, Martha Daura, wanted the family houses to be committed to the arts as they had been in her father's lifetime.
Les Maisons Daura are now residences for artists from around the world, all dedicated to contemporary work, managed by the Georges Pompidou Maison des Artes in nearby Cajarc. It was restored in 2005 and remains a research center for artistic innovation.
The Rignault Museum
Once a typical family house on a cobbled street at the foot of the church, the Rignault Museum houses a fascinating trove of historical items, puts on a variety of artistic and historical exhibits, and offers a beautiful garden with breathtaking views for a lovely respite from the hilly hikes.

Toulouse-Lautrec Museum (and Albi)
If you have time for a day trip, the lovely city of Albi, home to the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, is well worth a visit. In addition to the museum, it has an astonishingly beautiful cathedral-- the interior art and decoration are unparalleled. Albi also has one of France's very first vegetarian restaurants-- excellent meals served by actual cousins of ours.
