Car Hire Tarbes - Mini guide to Tarbes

Tarbes

Located in the beautiful French Upper-Pyrenees department, Tarbes is this mountainous region’s vital commercial and industrial centre. Originally a Roman city, Tarbes’ fabulous Notre Dame de la Sede Cathedral can be found in the western part of the city and boasts an impressive, massive dome.

The gorgeous Jardin Massey garden is located in the northern part of Tarbes and was created by the same skilled landscape gardener who also assisted in designing the renowned gardens of Versailles. The meticulously designed garden houses a cloister dating from the 15th century along with an interesting museum.

Marshal Ferdinant Foch, who was the Allied forces’ commander in chief during the final months of WWI, was born in Tarbes and his house has been transformed into a museum. Situated in the Midi-Pyrenees region, the area surrounding Tarbes offers rewarding daytrips by rental car.
