Culture Tarn-Et-Garonne

The research and documentation centre on Romanesque art contains reproductions of the illuminations of the abbey of Moissac and a library specialising in Romanesque art. The municipal archives of Moissac can also be consulted here. It is an extremely important resource for understanding the past of the town and more broadly the history of the region and even of France. Researchers and students can consult the works on request in order to study them.

The small town of Dunes has an extremely well-stocked and well-known Occitan documentation center. Visitors have access to various types of French and Occitan documents to consult on the spot: books, magazines, video cassettes... You will learn more about the local culture, its history, its gastronomy, its language and much more. It is a necessary stop for those who don't want to just visit the tourist sites, but really learn more about everything that led this region to its particular identity.

In each of the department's major towns, this brotherhood has taken care to present a gastronomic address that cannot be ignored. The culinary heritage of Tarn-et-Garonne is rich and generous, with a wealth of tasty treasures such as the aroma of mushrooms combined with golden-brown poultry, or the delicacy of foies gras sublimated by truffles. All these delights are brought to life by the chefs of the Brigade du Goût restaurants. They have come together in this association to exchange information on their respective practices and to promote their cuisines.

Montauban AVF Accueil is a voluntary association based in Montauban, in the Midi-Pyrénées region of France.

The centre on Romanesque art contains illuminations, incunabula and other local archives available to researchers. This important collection of documentation on Romanesque art also provides an opportunity to discover the work of the illuminators of Moissag. While sculptors worked on the decoration of the capitals of the cloister in the 11th and 12th centuries, scribes and illuminators produced the often ornate manuscripts in the monastery library.
