Albi

Highlight • Settlement

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.

Saint Cecilia's Cathedral, Albi

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Palais de la Berbie

Highlight • Castle

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.
