Castelnau-de-Montmiral, classified among the most beautiful villages in France, is a medieval jewel in the Tarn. Founded in 1222, it offers preserved architecture with half-timbered houses and arcades. Its Saint-Michel church, dating from the 14th century, and the remains of medieval fortifications enrich its heritage. Surrounded by vineyards and nature, it is a paradise for wine lovers.
