A market driven by industry as much as by tourism
Castres owes its charm to its colourful houses hanging over the Agout and to the Musée Goya, the largest collection of Hispanic art in France after the Louvre. Yet its rental market owes far more to something else: a dense business community and a top-flight rugby club.

Castres is home to the headquarters of Pierre Fabre Laboratories and to an industrial base that generates regular business travel, including outside the tourist season. These guests book weekdays, for several nights, and pay little attention to changes in price: exactly the profile that makes the quiet months pay.
The motorway to Toulouse has brought the town closer to the city, widening this pool of short trips even further.
Castres Olympique's home games in the Top 14, France's top rugby league, create around fifteen peaks a season, all highly predictable since the fixtures are published in advance. These are dates to open early and price up, just as you would for a festival.
In summer, the Montagne Noire, the Lac du Merle and the hiking trails take over, bringing in families and nature lovers.
An unusual profile: autumn comes out on top, driven by rugby and business travel.
Busiest month in Castres: October. Quietest: August. An indicative spread of demand, to give you a sense of scale. Your personalised estimate, on the other hand, is built on real booking data for your area.
