Carbonne is in the Haute-Garonne department of the Midi-Pyrenees, about 40 kilometres south of Toulouse. Carbonne is on the Garonne river, at its confluence with the Arize river.

Dating from the middle of the 12th century, the village was built on a bend in the river in an attractive location.

Suffering from the same fate as many villages in the southwest of France, it was ransacked by simon de Montfort in 1244, and it was 12 years until people returned when one of the first bastides was constructed here. The Black Prince and the Hundred Years war came next, and again the village was more or les destroyed.

After 1356, the monks who had originally established Carbonne resettled, and a new, fortified, bastide town was constructed a little to the north of the original village. The stone bridge in the village was constructed in the late 18th century.

Carbonne remains an attractive village, with walls constructed in the typical style of the region using thin red bricks. The 13th century church and the 19th century market hall are among the places of interest. There are also three interesting towers - colombiers - and the stone bridge over the river provides nice views.

Don't miss the garden of the Abbal Museum, or the museum itself which has some interesting sculptures. Carbonne now has a reputation as a village that attracts various artists and artisans.
