Small town of Tarn-et-Garonne, Occitanie region, Mas-Grenier takes place at about thirty kilometers from Montauban, in the heart of the valley of the Garonne. Located in Lomagne, near Castelsarrasin, it was called until the 19th century Mas-Garnier or Mas de la Cour.

Mas-Grenier owes its foundation to a Benedictine abbey dedicated to St. Peter, and founded in the heart of the Middle Ages. Important place of safety of Protestantism since the second half of the sixteenth century, the municipality made submission to the Crown in the seventeenth century following a violent siege.

Today, Mas-Grenier is appreciated for its ideal geographical location to discover the region, but also for its historical architectural heritage. Full of charm, the small city of the south of France attracts by its calm and its unique frame.

Things to see and do

As you stroll through the streets of the city, you can appreciate the style of the Saint-Jacques church built in the second half of the nineteenth century. It is the work of architect Gabriel Bréfeil.

The town also has an old disused Protestant temple, and beautiful capitals of the seventeenth century.

The castle of Frescaty, not visitable, has a beautiful vaulted cellar classified as an historic monument, and it is possible to admire a terminal decorated with fleurs-de-lis and keys of the abbey Saint-Pierre on the site of the old abbatial buildings.

It is also possible to discover from outside the Saint-Cassian farm, and the oratory Saint-Jean of the late eighteenth century.

A nineteenth century neoclassical hall completes this idyllic picture.
