Carmaux
Coal mining and glassmaking shaped Carmaux, a tiny town in the Tarn department of southern France's Occitanie region, and it was here that the socialist statesman Jean Jaurès built much of his political career, serving as the constituency's deputy from 1893 and later co-founding the SFIO and the newspaper L'Humanité. Set on the Cérou river amid the schist plateaus of the Ségala, the town has a little central core with cafés and restaurants.
