Caylus

Guide of the Tarn-et-Garonne

Travel Guide > France > Midi-Pyrénées > Tarn-et-Garonne > Caylus

On the border between Quercy and Rouergue, at the heart of the Bonnette Valley, the mediaeval town of Caylus, dominated by the tower of the old royal castle, is ideal for a relaxing stroll.

As picturesque as can be, its historical centre is full of ancient houses and listed monuments, including the old market hall with its grain measures, the 13th-centry Maison des Loups ("House of Wolves") with its façade flanked by wolf-shaped gargoyles, and the fortified Church of St. John the Baptist from the 14th and 17th centuries. This Gothic-style church contains a monumental work: the wooden Christ - standing at a height of 5.20 metres! - by the famous sculptor Ossip Zadkine.
