Small Italian theater with 550 seats, nestled in the heart of the city ... A first room preceded the current building, the city having built in 1792 a space until then dedicated to the game of palm to turn it into a theater.

The capacity of the new hall, opened in 1849, was 528 spectators spread over four levels. Access was then through the rue de la Comedie, inconvenient because narrow. This situation will last until 1931.

Mill built in 1781 by Louis Martin de Bellerive. Private property but the mill is visible from the road. The Bellerive Mill was protected as a Historic Monument in 1989. It is built of brick with stone bases. It consists of three levels and housed eight horizontal (flat) turbines. • Four for grinding flour; • One to operate the bluterie mechanism (which acted like a sieve, to separate the flour from the bran which envelops the grains); • Two to transmit power to a neighboring sawmill; • One for pumping water. The mill roadway was damaged by a flood during the winter of 1783. This caused difficulties later. Then after another break in the roadway in 1911, the mill's activity ceased definitively.

The bastide of Réalville (Regalis villa = the royal city) was founded in 1310 by King Philippe IV le Bel and populated by the inhabitants of Almont, a village located on the hillsides and abandoned on this occasion. The particularity of this foundation is to be installed in contact with a very old Benedictine priory, Cayrac, and near a Cistercian abbey, Saint-Marcel. Nothing suggests the turbulent history of Réalville, a 14th century bastide with an arcaded square, lined with old brick or half-timbered houses. After the troubles of the Hundred Years War (siege of Réalville), the Wars of Religion lead to the destruction of the Abbey of Lagarde-Dieu in Mirabel and the looting of Cayrac and Réalville. As prosperity returned in the 17th and 18th centuries, dovecotes were erected in the countryside, mills along the Aveyron or the Lère and beautiful houses in the villages. Sweet and generous, this corner of land in the Tarn-et-Garonne provides all the fruits of summer: peaches, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, plums, the famous Mirabel melon, golden Chasselas. but also the confits and delicious foie gras that have made the reputation of his cuisine. Come and discover the production of distilled beers, the preparation of traditional fruit juices, the wines of Quercy and of course the local canners and prune producers.

The records show that a church was built on the left bank of the Tarn around 1320. A few years later, the completion of the bridge connecting the two banks was to cause the development of this suburb. But the word of Saint-Orens, bishop of Auch in the fifth century, suggests a much older foundation, probably earlier than that of Montauban (1144). Several churches have succeeded each other since. One of them was swept away by the overflow of the Tarn of July 26, 1652, shortly after its construction. The current building, inaugurated in 1891, is (with the exception of the bell tower) the work of the diocesan architect Léopold Gardelle. He was closely inspired here, the first Gothic art, that of the thirteenth century, without falling into pastiche. One can only appreciate the breadth of this brick building, 75 m long, and the balance of its architectural volumes. He resisted the flood of 1930 which partly destroyed this district of Villebourbon. Paradoxically, the catastrophe allowed the completion of the church:thanks to the generosity of the Paris City Council towards the city, the bell tower could finally be built by the architect Germain Olivier. With its 65 m height, it is considered the highest in the department. The church houses an exceptional set of stained glass, art deco style, by master glassmaker André Rapp. With the stained glass above the main portal, Rapp celebrates the sacrifice of the young Montalban industrialist Adolphe Poult, during the catastrophic flood of March 2 to 4, 1930. A successful sportsman, he managed, on his frail canoe, to save the drowning hundreds of people. He ends up drowning himself, after all, after a day and a night of fighting. His name was given to the quai du Tarn located near the aglise.

A must-see in the heart of the city since 1144 and the origins of Montauban. THE PLACE IN THE MIDDLE AGES Seat of economic and municipal power, place of justice, the square was the center of Montalbanese public life in the Middle Ages. THE PLACE IN MODERN ERA Destroyed by two fires in the 17th century, the reconstructed square is magnified by a rigorous architectural program. It remains the commercial heart of the city. THE PLACE IN CONTEMPORARY TIMES The urban, demographic and economic development of the city since the French Revolution has gradually diminished the role local merchant. A GEM TO PRESERVE Despite the modifications made over the centuries, the place retains a remarkable homogeneity. Perfectly preserved, it constitutes one of the city’s heritage treasures.

Temporarily closed - In 1685, Louis XIV decided to build a gigantic cathedral to assert his power and mark the victory of the Catholic religion. Built at the highest point of the city and partly built in white stone, the cathedral symbolizes the all-powerful Catholic monarchy on the former rebel city ... The work of Catholic reconquest on the Protestant city culminated in 1692 with the laying of the first stone of Notre-Dame Cathedral, a masterpiece of classical architecture. And to make room for it, we do not hesitate to remove whole blocks of houses, to split in two sections the street of Soubirous and to clear a vast forecourt on the Place des Nonnains (today Franklin Roosevelt) Consecrated in 1739, it is the work of three royal architects: François d'Orbay, Jules Hardouin-Mansart and Robert de Cotte. The classical facade bears the statues of the four evangelists, dominated by the king's arms inscribed on the pediment. The interior reveals a building with harmonious lines, enhanced by a delicate dome on pendants.The cathedral houses remarkable furniture: stalls (eighteenth), carved walnut organ (seventeenth) and a Napoleon III style baldachin. In the north arm of the transept is one of Ingres' major works, the Vow of Louis XIII (1824). The interior of the cathedral breaks strongly with the aesthetics of the Saint Jacques church: the high windows flood the nave with lights. The cathedral is home to exceptional furniture, including a 17th century walnut organ, a 18th century pulpit and a 19th century Napoleon III canopy. In 2010, a treasure is set up by the State in the great sacristy, opened during some visits proposed by the Heritage Center.
