Rain can disrupt your holiday in the Hautes-Alpes, and force you to adapt your programme. Don’t have any activities planned when it rains in Embrun? Visiting a monument is an option. Not interested in the city’s monuments and museums? You can also plan a window-shopping session, watch a film at the cinema, sit down at a restaurant, share an escape game… The choice is yours! With your children, as a couple or with friends, we suggest activities and visits to visit and discover Embrun in the rain!
The oldest civil residence in Embrun, the Maison des Chanonges belongs to the historic district of the cathedral. Today it houses the Maison du Patrimoine Embrunais within its centuries-old walls.
The Cathedral of Notre-Dame-du-Réal in Embrun conceals a treasure… The archbishops’ sacristy, accessible with a guided tour, houses gold and silver chalices and ciboria, as well as manuscripts with fine illuminations. The cathedral’s interior is surprisingly lavish, with a monumental organ and polychrome vaults.
