A charming square steeped in history, surrounded by arcades with a 13th-century fountain at its center... and bistros all around to refresh yourself! ;-)

This was the city residence of the Pierre de Brens family from the 13th to the 15th century. From the courtyard you can see the magnificent mullioned windows and some gargoyles.

In the heart of the old town of Gaillac lies the church of St. Peter, built entirely of brick. In the sixteenth century, during the religious war, the church suffered greatly, but some beautiful original features can still be seen, such as its portal.

The Abbey Museum houses the works of art and folk traditions, it also contains the archaeological collections, including an exceptional mosaic.

The religious wars devastated the churches of Gaillac. The toll was very high for the abbey and in the middle of the 16th century it was destroyed. The abbots of Saint-Michel worked on the restoration of the abbey church in the 17th and 18th centuries. A huge task! The revolution of 1789 led to the looting of the abbey again. The abbey became a warehouse, a storage facility and a saltpeter factory. In the 19th century, as part of the restoration, the nave was given a neoclassical look, the walls were painted with trompe l'oeil and in 1849 a neo-Romanesque portal was added to the west façade. At the moment the abbey is being renovated and is closed. Status as of May 7, 2024

Beautiful little place. The village square is a great place to stop for a break.

Lisle-sur-Tarn has a 13th century fountain on the village square, surrounded by its half-timbered arcades where there are many cafes.

Hidden away peaceful resting area for a picnic or to relax and read a book.
