About this audio guide
This audio guide to Square Gambetta in Carcassonne follows Paul Sabatier, a chemist born in the town who shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in nineteen twelve. It starts from an odd question about who paid for his monument here in the nineteen fifties, and reaches back to a Toulouse laboratory and a speck of nickel. Best heard on the central lawn, near the fountains.
