Things to Do
In town, there is a wonderful theatre, designed after the Paris Opera House, that offers live music and plays. The Goya Museum is another venue popular with tourists and locals alike and offers a unique vision of the works of great Spanish masters from the 14th century to the present day, one of the largest collections in France.
There are fabulous old mansions in the heart of town built in the 17th century during the cultural revival, a covered market from 1868 as well as regular open-air farmer’s markets. If you’d rather dine out, Castres offers a wide variety of excellent restaurants and bistros where you can sample some of the fine local wines with your meal. There is also quite a vital nightlife with wine bars, nightclubs and even an Irish Pub! For a more relaxed pace, you can take the Coche d’eau (water boat) from the center of town by the main square to the Parc de Gourjade where you can wander and picnic as well as play 9 holes of golf on the local public course. Lautrec, voted the prettiest village in France, is less than 15 minutes away and offers wonderful local artisan shops and has a fabulous pink garlic festival in August. The closest international airport is Toulouse at just over an hour away.
