Brens: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

Near the entrance to Camp de Brens, a stele commemorates the Jewish victims of the roundup of 26 August 1942.

Some of the approximately twenty barracks originally located at Camp de Brens, as well as a watchtower, are still standing. The remains are visible from the road; the site is on private property and cannot be visited. Camp de Brens is located in Brens, in the Tarn department, on the left bank of the Tarn River.

The Association Camp de Brens: histoire et mémoires regularly organises cultural events, including exhibitions, conference debates, film screenings and live performances.

Brens's architectural heritage includes a 17th-century church. The Church of Saint-Eugène in Brens houses a statue of Saint Eugène.

Almost every hamlet in Brens has small heritage features, including ovens and/or washhouses.

Those choosing Brens as their place to stay may wish to rent a holiday apartment.

Nature

Part of the type 2 ZNIEFF “Basse vallée du Tarn” (730030121) lies within the territory of Brens.

Trails

There are easy hiking trails around Brens that are suitable for many people.

The Pont de la Tuile is a single-arch brick bridge dating from the 12th century. In the Middle Ages, it enabled people to cross the Rieucourt stream to reach the cemetery and the Chapelle Saint-Eugène.

The Sentier des amoureux hiking trail leads to the Pont de la Tuile.
