Albi Essentials

Albi’s UNESCO-listed Episcopal City is defined by its distinctive red-brick architecture. This collection features the Cathédrale Sainte-Cécile, the world's largest brick building, and the Palais de la Berbie, which houses the extensive Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec collection. Explore the 11th-century Pont Vieux, the Romanesque-Gothic Saint-Salvy collegiate church, and the 16th-century Maison Enjalbert. From the formal gardens of the Berbie to the 19th-century covered market, these sites showcase the medieval heritage and artistic legacy of the Tarn region’s 'Red City.'
