생트크루아 최고의 사이클링 경로

There is a very nice view on this road, with the bonus of the ruined castle of Castelnau-de-Levis (it might be worth going to see it more closely next time...)

Saint CECILE, to whom the cathedral in Albi was dedicated, is primarily responsible for good sound in the large circle of saints - 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 confirmed, 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

The Pont-Vieux d'Albi is one of the old bridges of medieval origin still in use. When you visit the city, crossing it gives access to one of the most beautiful views of the Berbie Palace and the Sainte-Cécile Cathedral. Linking the two banks of the Tarn, the Pont-vieux is a World Heritage Site of Albi, registered in the UNESCO perimeter of the episcopal city and classified as a historic monument since 1961.
