Description

We'll begin the Albi private tour by meeting at the scheduled time at the Tourist Office.

First, we'll visit Sainte Cecile Cathedral. Inside this medieval temple, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we'll admire its Gothic style paintings and works of art. It's considered to be the largest brick cathedral in the world. We'll appreciate the decoration of its vault and sidewalls, which represent the stories of the Creation, the Last Judgement, and the Resurrection.

The tour will continue to the Palais de la Berbie. This 13th-century palace, formerly the bishop's residence, now houses the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum. This famous post-impressionist painter was born in Albi, and we'll have the opportunity to see several canvases by him. We'll also admire the gardens of the Palais de la Berbie.

Then we'll take a walk through the historic centre and along the banks of the Tarn, to the Pont Vieux. Its construction began in 1040, making it one of the oldest bridges in France.

The tour will end 2 hours after the start of the activity.
