살리에스 최고의 사이클링 경로

I love these little streets of Albi; they're peaceful, majestic, and steeped in history. The best way to experience them is on foot!

An unusual footbridge, quite pretty. It's a bit bumpy on a bike because of the metal bars they've put on the ground, but nothing too bothersome over such a short distance! It's worth a look!

Lovely cold drinking water from the tap. Well needed on hot days

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.

Very pretty, quiet and well-shaded greenway!

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.

A short but intense climb (if you arrive from the west, a big descent otherwise) with a beautiful view as a reward
