Tarbes, Prefecture city in Hautes-Pyrénées, France
Located at the foot of the Pyrenees mountains, Tarbes extends across both banks of the Adour River at an elevation of 304 meters.
The settlement, first documented as Civitas Turba in the 5th century, developed from a Roman military camp into a strategic medieval fortified town.
The Jardin Massey, created in the 19th century, contains botanical collections, a cloister, and the International Museum of Hussars within its grounds.
The central railway station provides direct connections to Paris, Toulouse, and Bordeaux, while the small airport serves domestic French destinations.
The National Stud Farm, established in 1806, maintains the preservation of purebred horses and supports regional equestrian activities.
