Castres is a typical town in the South of France, famous for its museum devoted to the works of Goya. On Place Jean Jaurès, the plane trees, the terraces, the houses with timber balconies give Castres all its southern charm. As you stroll through the old streets in the L'Ecusson quarter, you will be able to admire the fine town houses in the Castres Renaissance style. The garden of Castres' Bishop's palace was designed by Le Notre in the 17th century. Its ornamental flower beds are veritable gems and very rare in France.
