Tarn

Tarn, located in the Occitanie region of southern France, offers a rich blend of historical landmarks, artistic heritage, and natural beauty. From the rose-coloured Cathedral city of Albi to the bustling market town of Gaillac, Tarn provides a diverse range of experiences for every traveller.

Albi: The Heart of Tarn

Albi, perched on the banks of the River Tarn, is famous for its unique rose-coloured architecture, made from the clay of the river bed. The city houses the Palais de la Berbie, which features the Toulouse Lautrec museum. This museum showcases the life and works of the renowned artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, born in Albi, along with works from other celebrated artists like Matisse, Utrillo, and Vlaminck.

Cathedral of St Cecile

The Cathedral of St Cecile is a marvel of Gothic architecture and is considered the largest brick building in the world. Its austere exterior reflects its historical role in defending Christianity, while the interior is a celebration of the Italian Renaissance, adorned with early 16th-century frescoes and a collection of over 200 intricately carved stone figures.

Castres and its Artistic Heritage

Castres, an important stop on the route to Santiago de Compostela, has a rich textile industry history. The Goya museum in the 17th-century Bishop's Palace is a must-visit, boasting an impressive collection of paintings by the artist. The town also features the Arthur Batut museum, dedicated to the pioneer of aerial photography.

Natural Wonders

Tarn is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. From the Montagnes Noires to the 'trembling rocks' at Sidobre and the expansive Gresigne oak forest, the region offers ample opportunities for hiking and rambling.

Gaillac and its Culinary Delights

The market town of Gaillac is surrounded by rolling vineyards that have been producing AOC red and white wines for over a millennium. The local cuisine, featuring Confit de Canard, Cassoulet, and Toulouse sausages, perfectly complements the wines.

Bastides and Medieval Villages

The region is dotted with charming bastide towns like Lisle sur Tarn and Castelnau de Montmirail. To the north, the fortified medieval village of Puycelsi adds another layer to the area's rich history.
