Montréjeau (French pronunciation: ​[mɔ̃ʁeʒo];^[2] Gascon: Montrejau) is a commune in the Haute-Garonne department in southwestern France.

History[]

Montréjeau was the site of one of the French Revolution's last pitched battles between republicans and royalists. In the summer of 1799, anti-revolutionary insurrection broke out in the Haute-Garonne. For a brief time it flourished, even threatening the city of Toulouse. The Directory reacted swiftly, ordering in troops which decisively defeated the rebels at Montréjeau on 1 Fructidor Year VII (18 August 1799).^[3]
