Birthplace of Jean Jaurès, Castres is one of the highlights of Tarn. Built on the banks of the Agoût, we discover very pretty colorful houses overlooking the quays, places of tanners, dyers and weavers from the 17th century. Also worth seeing is the Bishop's Garden and its boxwood embroidery, as well as the Goya Museum.
