Tarn line Toulouse – Mazamet
A taste of nature
You've barely left Toulouse that the train already winds its way through the hills of the Pays de Cocagne, where woad was once farmed ...
... to take you to Castres, the city of Jean Jaurès, a little Venice on the River Tarn.
The woody contours of the Montagne Noire, around Mazamet, are an invitation to escape into the wild.
This is a land of fresh air, nature, the ideal spot to relax ...
... or to cycle on the Passa País green route through the Haut Languedoc.
