Car Hire in Castres Airport - Mini guide to Castres Airport

Castres is a town in Languedoc, south-western France and is best known for being the home of the famed socialist leader Jean Jaurés as well as also for its museum dedicated to the paintings of Goya. The town is twinned with Linares in Spain as well as being the sister of Wakefield in England.

The Church of Saint Benoit, with its sandy grey stone walls and geometric shapes, is an excellent tourist attraction and dates as far back as the seventeenth century. The Goya Museum was built in 1840. It houses the most extensive and complete collection of Spanish paintings in France (outside of the Louvre) and has approximately 28,000 visitors every single year. There is also the lesser known Jaurés Museum that was opened in 1954 in the very home where Jean Jauréas, the famous socialist leader, was born. It attracts a more modest, but still impressive, ten thousand visitors in the average year, and is located Pélisson; travelling to it takes you through the old town and in full view of the Hotel Nayrac, on Frédéric-Thomas. The museum opened in 1988 and is a tribute to one of France's most prominent political activists who campaigned against the death penalty amongst other issues. He was murdered for his stance against World War One, being a pacifist.
