Founded in 1144 by the Count of Toulouse, Montauban is a proud brick town with a tumultuous history! Let yourself be tempted by the gentle way of life typical of the south-west.
The Place Nationale, the Pont Vieux bridge, the Ingres Bourdelle museum… these are just some of the heritage treasures that give Montalban its identity. What’s more, thanks to a rich cultural programme and top-quality sports facilities, you’ll soon feel right at home in the pink Tarn-et-Garonne town.
