Why use the interactive map for Tarn tourist offices?
- It's the official, department-wide network of 45 partner offices where local experts provide in-person advice, event programmes, and printed documentation.
- You can toggle clean, structured views to match your planning style: full-screen map, list, or a mixed layout that shows both.
- Filters let you narrow the display so you only see the offices that matter for your trip.
- Contact details and website links are provided for each office, so you can call, email, or click through for more.
Fast start: see all 45 offices in one view
Follow these steps to get the full picture fast:
- Open the "Offices de tourisme" page on the Tarn Tourisme site.
- Select Affichage carte to switch to the full interactive map view.
- Zoom in/out (mouse wheel or pinch) and drag to pan across the Tarn.
- Enable the option Rechercher quand je déplace la carte (Search when I move the map) so pins refresh as you navigate.
- Click any pin to identify the corresponding office and access its details via the page’s contact options.
Quick definition of map and list controls
- Affichage carte: Displays the interactive map with all visible office pins.
- Affichage liste: Shows a scannable list of partner tourist offices.
- Affichage mixte: Combines list and map so you can scan details and see exact locations at the same time.
- Affiner ma recherche: Opens filters to narrow which offices are displayed.
Filter like a pro: cut visual clutter and focus your search
Filters help you quickly focus on the most relevant offices. Use Affiner ma recherche to:
- Limit the list and map to a subset of offices that match your criteria.
- Reduce pin density when you're exploring a specific area or theme.
- Speed up decision-making by eliminating irrelevant results.
Tip: Start broad (all 45) to grasp the geographic spread. Then apply filters to refine. If you want a balanced workflow, toggle Affichage mixte to keep context while scanning details.
From pins to practical planning
Each office entry provides practical ways to act:
- Contacter par mail: Send a question directly to local experts.
- Phone numbers: Call for immediate guidance or to confirm opening details.
- Visiter le site internet: Click through for deeper local information.
To build a route, shortlist a few offices that match your itinerary (for example, one near your arrival, another close to your accommodation, and one by your main day trip). Then add those stops to your usual map app to create a multi-stop route. This approach keeps planning lightweight and flexible.

- Pan methodically: drag in grid-like passes to ensure you scan all key valleys and hilltop towns.

- Switch to Affichage mixte when you need to match a town name in the list to a precise map location.
