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.

Hiking

Stroll through the beautiful streets of the old town of Albi. Lots of shops and restaurants. There is also a large car park near the old town by the cathedral. In any case, one should also go to the river Le Tarn, very nice bridge!

Hiking

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.
