Region: Occitanie

Tarn is a beautiful, rolling department where stone villages, river valleys, and Albigensian history meet. It’s a land of contrasts, from red-brick cities to green vineyards and the rocky Sidobre plateau.

​

Albi, the capital, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with its impressive red cathedral and Toulouse-Lautrec museum. Castres, with its riverside houses, and Gaillac, in the heart of wine country, offer culture and community. Cordes-sur-Ciel is a spectacular hilltop village that lives up to its heavenly name.

​

The Tarn River, Forests of Grésigne, and the Monts de Lacaune offer opportunities for hiking, cycling, and scenic drives. The lifestyle here is rich in flavour and tradition.

​

Property is highly appealing—stone houses, village homes, vineyard properties, and country estates are common, many with views and character. Tarn is a favourite for Francophiles seeking sun, heritage, and value.
