A land of forests, mountains, vineyards and plains, the Tarn is very close to Toulouse and Montpellier.
In the heart of the Occitanie region, the Tarn enjoys a climate that combines the greenery and freshness of the Atlantic landscapes with the mild, luminous climate of the Mediterranean.<\/p>

A rich heritage awaits you: fortified villages, castles, churches, museums, where the enigmas of history rub shoulders…<\/p>

A dense network of hiking trails allows you to discover the riches of the Tarn on foot, on horseback or by bike. Fishing and canoeing enthusiasts will be delighted: the Tarn, Viaur, C\u00e9rou, Ago\u00fbt and many other rivers wind their way through our department… <\/p>

All it takes is a few kilometers to change your world!

Discover<\/strong> the Tarn<\/strong> region: campsites, PRLs and vacation villages<\/strong> well <\/a> placed to explore Albi, Cordes-sur-Ciel, the Gaillac vineyards, the Sidobre<\/strong> and the Monts de Lacaune<\/strong>. Museums, cellars, castles, typical villages and major sites in Occitanie: choose the ideal address to suit your needs (pitches, mobile homes, chalets, lodges), compare facilities, opening periods and prices directly<\/g>, then book with ATHPA member<\/g> establishments. Enjoy a holiday combining culture, nature and local encounters – the essentials are just a short drive away. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Gaillac<\/strong> vineyard is one of the oldest in France! Come and (re)discover reds, ros\u00e9s or whites, the range available is as vast as the colors of the sky. Here, it’s all about wines, winemakers and, above all, passion. <\/p>

Strolling through the villages and bastides, you’ll meet the people of the Tarn and their wineries. Gaillac<\/strong>, Puycelsi<\/strong>, Lisle sur Tarn<\/strong>…<\/p>

It’s a land of wines and know-how to be savored with gourmandise. Each step tells a Tarn story, delivers a recipe and delights the eye. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Albi<\/strong>, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Cordes sur ciel<\/strong>, which has been flying high above the clouds since the 13th century, Ambialet<\/strong>, a meandering town, Monesti\u00e9s<\/strong>, classified as the most beautiful village in France, Carmaux<\/strong> and its mining past…<\/p>

Castres<\/strong>, Mazamet<\/strong>, Hautpoul<\/strong> or Labrugui\u00e8re<\/strong>, the towns and villages of the Pays d’Autan have witnessed centuries of art, religion, conflict and tradition.<\/p>

The Montagne Noire<\/strong>, its thick greenery, the magic it exudes, the stories it tells and the heritage it harbors mean that nature is abundant and the people generous.<\/p>

A strong, colourful character, a shared history, influences from other cultures… have shaped a fine team… rugby, of course!<\/p>

In Castres<\/strong>, the gentle way of life is colored by Spanish good humor and Italian dolce vita! Climb aboard a coche d’eau for a gentle stroll. You’ll meet Goya and Jaur\u00e8s in their respective museums, sit on a terrace and let yourself be carried away by the cobbled streets… perfect for a romantic break! <\/p>

Mazamet’<\/strong> s industrial heritage is still very much alive. Today, the village is turning its attention to the development of green tourism, but it hasn’t forgotten its heyday in the 19th century, when d\u00e9lainage played a leading role in Mazamet’s economy. In the streets, the past has left some traces, like these elegant and impressive private mansions, witnesses of this privileged era… The story of a beautiful reconversion. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Pays de Cocagne owes its name above all to the “coques”, a stage in the processing of pastel to obtain the famous “pastel blue”.<\/p>

Flower-filled hills with panoramic views of the Pyrenees, pink brick walls or houses with blue shutters, the spirit of the South-West is here!<\/p>

The Pays de Cocagne is full of wonders. Shiver in the medieval underground of Saint-Sulpice<\/strong>, awe in front of the cathedral of Saint Alain and its Jacquemart in Lavaur<\/strong>, mystery under the Vauban vault at Les Cammazes<\/strong>, serenity in Dourgne<\/strong> and its abbeys, medieval atmosphere in Lautrec <\/strong> (and its pink garlic), emotion at the abbey-school of Sor\u00e8ze<\/strong> (Mus\u00e9e Dom Robert, abbaye-\u00e9cole)… <\/p>

Pays de cocagne, land of plenty!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
