Montauban

Montauban sits on the Tarn in Occitanie, southern France, where the river runs past a historic town built largely in pink brick. Founded in 1144 by the Count of Toulouse, it is among the region’s earliest bastides and retains a notably ordered centre around Place Nationale, an arcaded square reshaped after the Wars of Religion. The medieval Pont Vieux crosses the Tarn on seven arches and has connected the town’s banks since the 14th century. Montauban was the birthplace of painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres; the Musée Ingres Bourdelle occupies the former episcopal palace.
