This hulking cathedral was erected in the 13th-century, on the back of the Albigensian Crusade that crushed the Cathar sect. The building was meant to convey the authority of the Catholic church and this fearsome edifice does that successfully even now. Building material for this sort of project doesn’t occur naturally around Albi, so bricks were u...
Chances are that you know the work of the 19th-century artist and illustrator Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec even if you don’t know the name. This post-impressionist recorded the glamour and seedy underbelly of Belle Époque Paris and his paintings often appear on posters for the Moulin Rouge. The museum, in the refined surrounds of Albi’s medieval Palac...
Once you’ve finished in the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum come for a dignified amble above the formal gardens slotted between the Palace de la Berbie and the left bank of the Tarn River. The terrace high above the water is the perfect vantage point from which to admire the immense cathedral and its outer structures. But you can also gaze across the Tarn ...
There’s no grander entrance to the Episcopal City than via this 150-metre 11th-century bridge. Pont Vieux is one of France’s oldest bridges still in everyday use. Like the rest of the cathedral complex the bridge belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. But the allure lies in the views and photo opportunities of the cathedral and the Tarn. Unlike...
Albi is rightly proud of its central old quarter and has devised three different routes to see every nook and cranny. The centre is divided into six distinct neighbourhoods, each with a different personality. Castelnau for example is where Albi’s most affluent medieval citizens resided, just south of the cathedral and where Henri de Toulouse-Lautre...
Overshadowed in more ways than one by its near neighbour the cathedral, this marvellous church is also worthy of a visit and is part of the World Heritage Site. The architecture is very composite as work was halted for during the Albigensian Crusade. What you’re met with is a striking melange of Romanesque and Gothic, pale stone and dark red brick....
A quick jaunt from the cathedral is an exquisite assortment of couture assembled by a private collector over 25 years. The location alone merits your attention, as the museum is housed in what used to be the Convent of the Annunciation. There are traces as old as the 12th century, and lots of eye-catching features like painted ceilings, spiral stai...
An 18th-century son of Albi is honoured by this museum next to the Tarn and a short hop from the Pont Vieux. The venue is Albi’s former pasta-making mills, which are from the 1850s but adapted to a building that goes back to the 1600s. Jean-François de Galaup was an explorer and naval officer, most famous for an ill-fated expedition around the worl...
One of the three loops devised by Albi’s tourist office will send you off on a short tour of the Tarn’s riverbanks. The right bank has a different character to the Episcopal City, with its old warehouses and mills that have all been converted into cultural attractions or stylish hotels. The view back across the river at the Palais de la Berbie and ...
In the old flour mills on the right bank of the Tarn is this exhibition hall and contemporary art studio. Artists have been creating works specifically to be displayed in this atmospheric industrial space since it opened in 1989. There’s no permanent exhibition , but there’s a lively schedule of workshops, talks and temporary shows, so you might be...
