Laboulbène lies between Castres and Albi in the plains of the Agout in the Tarn département. The village combines a distinctly characterful landscape with local meeting places, markets and festivals.
Landscape
The Laboulbène area has a clay-siliceous subsoil. There is no limestone, while sand predominates over clay. The Ruisseau du Rozé flows through Laboulbène and is the village’s most important watercourse.
