Place Nationale
The heart of Montauban is a square framed by a double gallery of brick arcades. Cafés fill the ground floor; the market is held there several mornings a week, and that is the best time to be there.
Ingres, Bourdelle and the Tarn
The Ingres Bourdelle museum occupies the former bishop's palace above the river Tarn. It holds the paintings and drawings of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, born in the town, and the sculptures of Antoine Bourdelle, also from Montauban.
The Pont-Vieux has crossed the Tarn since the 14th century. The view of the brick town from the opposite bank is the one on every photograph.
Half a day that combines well
Montauban pairs naturally with Moissac: same department, same direction out of Toulouse. A shuttle lets you do both in a day, which train connections make awkward.
