Tarbes

Key attractions include the Haras de Tarbes (National Stud Farm), the Jardin Massey (Massey Garden), the Musée Massey (Massey Museum), and the Cathedral of Notre-Dame-de-la-Sède. Exploring the city center, with its charming streets and shops, is also a must.

The best time to visit Tarbes is during the spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) months when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are smaller. Summer (June-August) is also popular, but it can be hotter, and winter offers opportunities for skiing in the nearby Pyrenees.

Tarbes has its own airport, Tarbes–Lourdes–Pyrénées Airport (LDE), which offers flights from various European cities. It is also easily accessible by train, with direct connections to major cities in France. By car, Tarbes is well-connected to the surrounding regions via major highways.
