The department of Tarn is a lovely rural area with nice villages dotted amongst the hills and the three principal mountain ranges lying to the south-east: the Mountains of Lacaune, the Sidobre, and the Montagne Noire, belonging to the Cevennes. The stony and wind-blown slopes of the first named are used for pasture. The highest point of the range and of the department is the Pic de Montalet (about 4150 ft).

Steeped in history, from the Cathar era to the Industrial Revolution, the Tarn department has a rich heritage of fortified villages, castles, churches and museums. While the south-western houses are mostly stone-built, cities from the northwest of the department are often made of the local red brick, typical of the region.

The limestone and sandstone foot-hills are clothed with vines and fruit trees, and are broken by deep alluvial valleys of particular fertility. With the exception of a small portion of the Montagne Noire, which drains into the river Aude, the whole department belongs to the basin of the Garonne.

The eastern portion of the department has a climate similar to that in Auvergne, the severest in France, but not quiet as severe and only a few hardy farmers live there.

Tarn is bounded north and east by Aveyron, southeast by Herault, south by Aude, southwest and west by Haute-Garonne, northwest by Tarn-et-Garonne. The slope of the department is from east to west, and its general character is mountainous or hilly.

About Cle France, The French Property Network

6/7 Castle Gate, Castle Street, Hertford, Hertfordshire, SG14 1HD

Clé France is a UNIQUE network of estate agency professionals in France. Local knowledge and expertise is the very foundation of our business, and who knows France better than the French? Every one of our agents has been born, bred and trained in the area in which they work, and are able to offer local insight and assistance second to none.

They operate in the French property market, their vendors are for the most part French and so are their buyers, so when they value a property they do so in a truly local context. You can therefore be assured that you are buying property priced at the correct level for the local market, rather than that aimed at an international clientele.

Buying through Clé France means that you have access to these agents, often small independent operators, who you would otherwise never come across. For the first time, you as a British buyer genuinely have the same choice as somebody French walking through the doors of their local high street agent, and AT NO EXTRA CHARGE.

Not only are you getting the best that the French market has to offer, but you have the benefit of a U.K based enquiry office, and all of our agents speak English. We work together to guide you through the process of finding and buying your dream property, and beyond. All of our agents are long established French professionals, who have strong links with their communities, often forged over generations: they are a mine of information for our clients, and prove themselves invaluable when it comes to settling into your new home.

Sharon Evans has spent 15 years living and working in France, and understands the needs of U.K buyers. This along with an in depth knowledge of the buying system in France, the language and the culture means that you are in excellent and safe hands. Along with the team in France she can offer her clients the best of both worlds: the best value property and a superb bi lingual support network.
