As we head into our second week in the Tarn, we aim to explore more of this interesting area. If we combine a history of religious persecution, war with the English and some of the remoteness of parts of the area, then today we are left with a number of fortified hilltop villages. For some of the lucky or more enterprising places this has meant arrival of artists and others interested in restoration, more than a few interesting restaurants and a general pleasant ambiance. Although now a city, Montauban is one of the better and bigger examples.
