One of the oldest bastide towns in southern France, Montauban was founded in 1144 by the Count of Toulouse. The city's pink brick buildings, characteristic of the Midi-Pyrenees, give it a warm appearance that intensifies in the evening light. About 52,000 people live in this Tarn-et-Garonne capital at the confluence of the Tarn and Garonne rivers.
The Place Nationale, a double-arcaded square rebuilt after fires in the 17th century, forms the commercial heart of the old town. The Musee Ingres-Bourdelle, housed in a former bishop's palace above the Tarn, displays works by the neoclassical painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle, both born in Montauban.
During the Wars of Religion, Montauban was a Protestant stronghold that resisted a royal siege in 1621. The Pont Vieux, a fortified bridge from the 14th century, spans the Tarn with seven arches.
The surrounding Tarn-et-Garonne department produces fruit, particularly table grapes and plums for prune production. Hotels in Montauban are used for companion meetings.
