THE TARN REGION
THE TARN DEPARTMENT (OCCITANIE)
Located in the northeast of the Toulouse city, the Tarn department is a rural area with a tertiary economy. Agricultural activity is still very present, notably through a recognized vineyard; Gaillac, but also cattle breeding and cereal cultivation. The Tarn also has undeniable tourist assets throughout its territory which allow it to be known far beyond its borders.
