Castres
In the footsteps of great men
Jaurès, Goya, Le Nôtre. Some of the greatest names in history have left their mark on Castres. A visit to the town is a colorful and lively stroll. The Jardin de l'Évêché, with its boxwood embroidery, is a noble setting for the Musée Goya. The houses on the River Agout, once the homes of tanners, dyers and weavers, feature pastel shades of white, green, blue and orange. Jean Jaurès, the local hero, dominates the square of the same name from his pedestal.
