What a stunning region! I had never heard of Tarn et Garonne prior to organizing this visit. The region is located just north of Toulouse. The main town of the region is the beautiful Rose Village on Montauban – called this because of the lovely pink colour of the clay of the area which was used to make bricks.
This region is all about agriculture - fantastic produce and wine. This is definitely an area to embrace "slow tourism" and to savour. This visit includes the lovely town of Caussade, home of hats in France, then takes the viewer to beautiful Montauban. Go on a tour of Montauban including a restaurant stop. Visit Chateau St-Louis for a glass of wine. Stay at Chateau Peyrot and have amazing homemade food.
Then on to a day of art! La Cuisine is an architectural marvel of the old and the new and home to modern art exhibitions that focus on themes around agriculture. Lunch in the beautiful town of Varen. A visit to the haunting and beautiful Beaulieu Abbey - another site for modern art exhibitions.
Finish up with a stay at Le Couvent de Neuviale. Then make sure you watch my video on Saint Antonin Noble Val to complete your time in Tarn et Garonne.
