The hotel is ideally located in a quiet street in the historic heart of Castres, a stone's throw from the Place Jean-Jaurès where the colourful and lively markets, the main institutions, shops, restaurants, theatre, museums, the famous tanners' houses on the banks of the Agout and other pedestrian streets and centres of interest are held. The RENAISSANCE hotel is housed in a beautiful 17th century red brick half-timbered house which has preserved the soul of an old town house.
