Tarbes is a small city in the Pyrenees foothills in southwestern France. It's best known as a gateway to the Pyrenees mountains, and as a market town for the agricultural area around it. The city is a convenient base for exploring the mountains, and for skiing in the winter. It's also a good place to sample traditional French country cooking. The city's old center is a maze of narrow streets and squares, with a lively market on Saturday morning. The church of Notre Dame de la Ste Croix is the city's most important religious monument.
