Coming to Albi without making a detour to the Sainte-Cécile cathedral is not possible. This religious building in red brick will amaze you as it is so imposing. For my part, it reminds me of an immense stone vessel. Faced with such majesty, you will understand why it has been classified with the episcopal city of Albi since July 31, 2010 on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The first cathedral dates back to the 4th century, but it was during the 13th century that it was profoundly modified by major works. Under the aegis of Sainte-Cécile, patron saint of musicians, take the time to visit this marvel. It is the most visited cathedral in France ahead of Notre-Dame de Paris.

Saint CECILE, to whom the cathedral in Albi was dedicated, is, among the large circle of saints, primarily responsible for good sound - if one can put it so casually at this point - because she is the patron saint of church music. Many religious choirs are named after her. The dates of her life from the corresponding saint's legend are not historically certain, but she is said to be a martyr from the beginning of the third century. The patron saint's feast day, i.e. her memorial day in the calendar of saints, is on November 22nd in all major Christian denominations.

In July, you will be transported back to the Middle Ages during the two-day festival of the great falconer. The programme includes a costumed banquet, a ball, a medieval market, parades and many entertainment related to the era. Gourmets will delight in the crispy biscuits from Cordes. Made from almonds, egg whites and sugar, they taste simply heavenly!

The palace, with its courtyard of honour and two towers, is still very well preserved. Built in the 13th century, the palace now houses the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, which displays a large number of works by the famous artist, who was born in Albi: paintings from his youth, portraits, paintings of brothels, sketches of the world of the spectacle.

The Sainte-Cécile Cathedral is a jewel of Gothic architecture in the south of France. It is the largest brick church in the world. It is also the largest church in Europe whose walls are still completely painted.
