Location in France

The Tarn department is to be found between Toulouse and Montpellier. It is a fantastic mix of both Languedoc and Pyrenees culture. The landscape is contrasting, with green forests giving away to sun soaked vineyards. The 350,000 population enjoy a Mediterranean-like climate and a relaxed pace of life. Showers in the spring help to keep the vegetation lush.
Tourism is now the main source of industry in the department, attracting visitors to its climate and landscape, as well as the cuisine. The most popular wine comes from the town of Gaillac, which has been producing it since Roman times, and foie gras is a popular regional dish.
Albi, situated on the banks of the river Tarn is the departmental capital. It is from this river that the reddish clay is extracted to construct just about every building in the town. The artist Henri de Toulouse grew up here and bequeathed the town with the largest collection of his works. Albi has a vast cathedral, also built from red clay, and looks more like a fortress than a spiritual place of worship.
Castres is a busy town, and makes a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside. Pimgrims used the town as a stopping off point on their way to Compostela. It boasts a superb art museum showcasing works from across the border in Spain.
Toulouse, Rodez, Montpellier and Carcassonne all have their own airports with regular flights from the UK. Toulouse also offers TGV links to many other French destinations. The area also has a good road and rail network.
