Montauban, pink city

Nestling on the heights of a beautiful bend in the Tarn near its confluence with the Aveyron, and just a few turns from the Canal des 2 Mers, Montauban is a city full of charm.

Discover

From its rich and sometimes tumultuous past, Montauban has preserved some remarkable town houses, a neo-classical cathedral, a Jesuit college, its famous Place Nationale and, of course, the Ingres Bourdelle museum overlooking the Tarn.

Bruniquel and its castles

Perched on a cliff, 2km from the route, Bruniquel is an escape not to be missed. Classed as one of France’s most beautiful villages, it is set against the natural splendour of the Aveyron gorges.
