Discover Castres
Castres, an enchanting town in the Tarn department, is a stop of great artistic interest on the Via Tolosana (Way of Arles). Its most iconic image are "maisons sur l'Agout", a colorful set of old dye works and weavers' houses suspended over the river, creating a beautiful sight. For the pilgrim, Castres offers a cultural surprise of first order: the Goya Museum located in the former episcopal palace. This museum hosts the most important collection of Spanish art in France after the Louvre, with masterpieces by Goya, Velázquez, Murillo and Picasso. The town, birthplace of socialist leader Jean Jaurès, invites a peaceful stroll through its historic center and the gardens of the Bishop's Palace, designed by Le Nôtre, the gardener of Versailles. With good services for the walker, it is a stop that enriches the pilgrimage enormously, offering an unexpected encounter with Spanish Golden Age in the heart of Occitania. It is an stage that combines scenic beauty with deep artistic delight.
