Tarbes, between Pyrenean culture and flower gardens

Welcome to Tarbes, a dynamic city in the Pyrenean foothills, where historical heritage, equestrian traditions and lush green spaces offer an authentic getaway in Bigorre.

A historic center steeped in tradition
A sunny city, Tarbes is known for its national stud farm, an iconic place where the famous Anglo-Arab horses are bred. This heritage site offers tours and equestrian shows, highlighting the history of horses in the region. Don't miss this connection with the equestrian world, whether you are passionate about them or not. Also explore the Place de Verdun, the heart of the city, surrounded by cafés and buildings with elegant architecture.

A generous nature between gardens and mountains
Tarbes has several beautiful green spaces, including the Jardin Massey, a listed English-style park with its paths lined with century-old trees, its museum and its Moorish pavilion. For the adventurous, take a trip to the Pic du Midi de Bigorre, less than an hour's drive away, where an observatory perched at 2 metres offers breathtaking views of the Pyrenees mountain range.

Bigourdan gastronomy rich in flavors
The local cuisine highlights garbure, a rustic soup made with vegetables and duck confit, as well as tender and tasty Pyrenean lamb.
