Known for being the seat of the archbishop of Albi, and also the magnificent Albi Cathedral - a brilliant example of the Southern Gothic style architecture - this small town in southern France is an absolute delight!
Its episcopal city has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is a must-visit. Stroll through Old Albi to soak in the medieval heritage while you admire the red brick architecture; pay a visit to the famous Palais de la Berbie (also home to the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum) for its charming gardens and splendid views of the iconic Pont-Vieux and the river Tarn; enjoy some fine wine and mouth-watering food. All in all, Albi is a unique experience and offers a breath of fresh air, away from the bustling city.
