One of the true gems of French architecture

Excellent

In the Midi-Pyrénées region's department of Tarn you can find one of the true gems of French architecture and urbanism.

Within the old city walls, the winding cobblestone streets cut a maze through the charming wooden houses.

The first walled zone, dating back to the early 13th century, is still visible from the peak of the hill. The Saint-Miquel church with its unusual steeple, was built in 1263 and fortified in the 14th century, with various additions continuing up until the Renaissance.
