Tarn-et-Garonne, France travel guide

The prefecture town of Tarn-et-Garonne is at Montauban, a red-brick town typical of the region with an attractive bastide centre.
East Tarn-et-Garonne
While near Montauban, head east from the town and follow the Aveyron River to visit the cluster of villages of Mirabel, Réalville and Cayrac and on to Montricoux. This cluster of ancient villages each has its own particular charm, and all are set in the attractive rolling countryside of the Tarn-et-Garonne. The classified most beautiful village of Bruniquel is also east of Montauban.
Continue east to the border with Tarn to visit pretty Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val - enjoy a look around the medieval village before heading for the scenic Aveyron gorges.
West Tarn et Garonne
To the west of Montauban visit Moissac, with its very famous and impressive cloisters, and in the countryside around Montauban be sure to visit Auvillar, a 'most beautiful village'.


cloisters at Moissac / Lauzerte
The eastern part of Tarn-et-Garonne that falls around Auvillar contains a veritable sprinkling of pretty hamlets and villages worth exploring - many very small, and individually with sometimes no particular highlights, but together creating a very worthwhile region to visit - these clusters include:
- to the north of Auvillar: the lavoirs at Valence d'Agen, Espalais and the castle at Goudourville
- a little further north: Perville, Montjoi, Castelsagrat, Saint-Clair, Brassac, Gasques and Bourg de Visa
- west of Auvillar: Sistels, Dunes, Saint-Cirice and Saint-Loup
- south-east of Auvillar: Bardigues, Le Pin, Merles, Saint-Michel
- north-east of Auvillar to Pommevic, Malause
North Tarn-et-Garonne
Another 'most beautiful village' is at Lauzerte slightly to the north.
The small market town of Montaigu-de-Quercy is also to the north of the department, near the border with the Lot-et-Garonne.
