Tarn et Garonne, Where Weather and People are Warm

What is it about the Tarn et Garonne that draws people back again and again? Could it be the diversity of the scenery, the long hot summers, the medieval villages that look like film sets or the friendly, hospitable locals?

It is all this and much more. Toulouse airport is within 1 hour’s drive, making the area ideal for those who wish to commute back to the UK but make their homes in France. Many do, as raising children in an area with its relatively low crime rate and excellent healthcare is top of most home buyers’ criteria, not to mention that their children could be bilingual in a very short time. A lot of people say that once they discover this northern part of the Tarn-et-Garonne, they stop looking elsewhere.

One of the reasons they cite, apart from the spectacular scenery, is that the area combines the best of both worlds. Rural Occitanie has an abundance of picturesque stone houses, but vibrant towns and cities that are easily accessible. Cahors, the capital of the Lot, is just 30 30-minute drive from St Antonin Noble Val and Caylus, two beautiful medieval villages that are very popular holiday spots. Montauban, the capital of the Tarn et Garonne, is also just 30 minutes away, and Toulouse (France’s 4th city) is an easy 50-minute drive.
