Castres is a commune located in the Tarn department in southern France. The city developed around a Benedictine abbey founded in the 9th century and grew into an important textile manufacturing center during the industrial revolution.

Today, Castres combines its industrial heritage with significant cultural attractions. The city is particularly known for the Goya Museum, housed in the former Episcopal Palace, which holds one of the largest collections of Spanish art in France. The historic city center features colorful houses built along the Agout River, reminiscent of medieval buildings in Florence, earning them the nickname "Little Venice of Languedoc". The city also maintains strong sporting traditions, particularly in rugby union, with its local team being a prominent fixture in French rugby.
