Stroll through its pink brick streets and alleys, with their warm and friendly atmosphere. Watered by the Tarn, Montauban enjoys a pretty canal port, which leads to the Canal de Montech, linking the river Tarn to the Canal des Deux-Mers (which itself links Bordeaux to the Canal du Midi in Toulouse!).

      Many buildings and monuments are worthy of interest in Montauban (which has 43 inventoried), in particular the many churches, reflecting various cults.

Take advantage of your visit to the Tourist Office to discover the former Jesuit college.
