From the tumultuous days of the French Revolution to the grandeur of medieval sculptures, this enchanting destination offers a wealth of cultural treasures. One notable event that shaped the course of history was the "Massacre des patriotes à Montauban" on May 10th, 1790. This tragic event is immortalized in an exquisite drawing by Jean-Louis Prieur, showcasing his mastery with black ink and wash techniques. The artwork stands as a poignant reminder of those turbulent times. Delve deeper into Tarn-et-Garonne's rich heritage through M. VUILLEMIN's atlas, which features one hundred and five meticulously crafted maps from various sources such as war depots, bridges, footwear production centers, and naval expeditions. These maps provide invaluable insights into France's colonial ventures during the late 19th century. As you explore further within this picturesque region lies Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val - an idyllic town nestled in Languedoc-Roussillon-Midi-Pyrénées. Here stands Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Montauban (Notre Dame de l'), an architectural marvel that exudes timeless beauty. Its awe-inspiring structure serves as a testament to human craftsmanship throughout centuries. Venturing beyond cathedrals brings us to Montauban's fortress construction site - witness its evolution over time. Marvel at intricate sculptures like "Daniel in the Lions Den, " "The Glorious Cross, " or "St Peter on His Cross. " These masterpieces date back to between 1115-1130 AD when skilled artisans left their mark on the stone, telling stories of faith and resilience.
