The history of Lisle-sur-Tarn begins with the destruction of the fortified village of Montaigu by Simon de Montfort's troops during the Albigensian Crusade. After 1229, with the approval and support of Raymond VII de Toulouse, a new "bastide" was created to house the former inhabitants of Montaigut and to respond to the increase in population. A bull of Pope Nicholas IV from 1291 grants an indulgence of 405 days to those who visit the Church of Notre-Dame de Lisle on certain feast days. Notre-Dame de la Jonquière is a 13th and14th-centuryy Tolosan Gothic-style brick building with three naves. The high - initially square, then octagonal - west tower with a pointed helmet does not correspond to the building traditions of the Midi, in which crossing towers and not west towers are in the foreground. After 1271, the year in which the former county of Toulouse was incorporated into the French crown domain, building ideas from the north were also adopted in the south of France.

Parts of the portal are obviously older than the church. They may come from a Romanesque building.

The remains of a Gallo-Roman settlement were discovered as early as 1840. This settlement was replaced by the Visigoths. Their fortifications here controlled the route from Toulouse to Lyon, as there was a ford to cross the river. At the end of the 12th century, the beginning of the 13th century, the town was a stronghold of the Cathars. During the Albigensian Crusade, Rabastens was loyal to Raymond VII of Toulouse, who lost - and so the town had to demolish its walls in 1229. As in Castelsarrasin, the "shepherds" (Crusade of the Shepherds, Croisade des pastoureaux) attacked the Jewish communities. In 1337, during the Hundred Years War, the troops of Gaston Febus, Count of Foix and Béarn, massacred more than a thousand men inside the city walls.

The Notre-Dame du Bourg church was built between 1230 and 1260 on the initiative of the Benedictine monks of Moissac, who were present at the priory in the 12th century. It has a large, rectangular, single-nave nave and is made entirely of brick modeled on the Saint-Étienne Cathedral in Toulouse. In the 14th century, Prior Bernard Latour decided to add a polygonal chancel to the nave. In July 2022 the church was under renovation and closed.

Montauban is the second oldest bastide in southern France. Its foundation dates from 1144 when Count Alphonse Jourdain of Toulouse, granted it a liberal charter. The inhabitants were drawn chiefly from Montauriol, a village that had grown up around the neighboring monastery of St Théodard. In the 13th century, the town suffered much from the ravages of the Albingensian War. In 1317 it became the head of a diocese. In 1360, it was ceded to the English, but they were expelled by the inhabitants in 1414. In 1560 the bishops and magistrates embraced Calvinistic Protestantism. They expelled the monks, and in 1561, crowds broke down the cathedral doors, looted the church and set it on fire. In the Edict of Nantes in 1598, Montauban, like La Rochelle, became a "safe place" (place de sûreté). The city became a small Huguenot republic with 15,000 inhabitants. It was the headquarters of the Huguenot Rebellion of 1621 and successfully withstood an 86-day siege by Louis XIII. The city was still destroyed and impoverished. Richelieu conquered La Rochelle and also conquered Montauban in 1629. Because Montauban was a Protestant town, it resisted and held its position against the royal power, refusing to give allegiance to the Catholic King. Montauban did not submit to royal authority until after the fall of La Rochelle in 1629. The same year Richelieu conquered Montauban and the fortifications were destroyed. The Protestants again suffered persecution later in the century, as Louis XIV began to persecute Protestants by sending troops to their homes (dragonnades) and then in 1685 revoked the Edict of Nantes, which had granted the community tolerance. - This Lourdes grotto is located in the large and well-kept garden of the "Chapelle de l'Immaculée conception".
