House, Montauban with 4 bedrooms

Mountabaun is a busy market town spread over both banks of the River Tarn, and particularly associated with the sale of fruit and vegetables, Montauban was built as a fortified town in the 12th century and converted into a protestant stronghold during the wars of religion. The present town has 17th century buildings, particularly around the arcaded Place National, where most of the houses are built in the distinctive pink brick which may be seen throughout the town. The Pont Vieux which spans the Tarn with seven arches dates from the 14th century and was originally fortified. Near the bridge is one of the town’s most important buildings: the Ingres Museum which contains drawings by Ingres and works by the sculptor Bourdelle, both born in the town. The commercial importance of Montauban is due rather to its trade in agricultural produce, horses, game and poultry, than to its industries, which include nursery-gardening, cloth-weaving, cloth-dressing, flour-milling, wood-sawing, and the manufacture of furniture, silk-gauze and straw hats.
