The Rosetta Stone is a fragment of an ancient Egyptian stele bearing three versions of the same text, which enabled the deciphering of hieroglyphs in the 19th century. The inscription is a decree promulgated in Memphis by Pharaoh Ptolemy V in 196 BC. The decree is written in two languages (Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Greek) and three scripts: Egyptian hieroglyphs, Demotic Egyptian, and the Greek alphabet.

very beautiful, winding old town with many small and large squares

Beautiful town with old buildings and the end of my stage from Le-Puy-en-Velay to Figeac ... Way of St. James 2024

A nice city with many beautiful buildings.

Figeac is home to the Champollion museum. Jean Francois Champollion was the decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs and was born in Figeac on 23 December 1790. The old town of Figeac has plenty of interesting architecture, numerous restaurants, cafes and hotels.

It is best to start the visit at the central and imposing Maison de la Monnaie with the Office de Tourisme. In the picturesque old town there are numerous stately houses from the Middle Ages.

The famous Rosetta Stone lies in this backyard as a gigantic enlarged floor slab.

The museum documents the origin and development of writing. It is housed in the birthplace of François Champollion, who managed to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs in the 19th century.
