It's a train station. An excellent starting point for a hike! Otherwise, it's nothing special, but thankfully it's there, functionally speaking!

Beautifully situated on the banks of the Tarn, Albi lives up to its name as the "red city"! This bishop's city, built of brick and stone and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is considered one of the pearls of southwest France. The reason for this? Its beautiful buildings and picturesque charm.

Small section “it goes up and down” 🤣 under the trees it’s quite pleasant even if you have to press a little on the pedals

The Episcopal Quarter is the heart of the historic old town of Albis, with the Sainte-Cécile Cathedral, the Saint-Salvi Church and the Bishop's Palace (Palais de la Berbie). In 2010, this urban ensemble was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
