Albi is best visited on foot, eyes up: the red brick, the fortress-cathedral, the medieval lanes of the UNESCO-listed episcopal city. Here’s the essential for visiting Albi<\/strong> in one or two days \u2014 and a good address to sleep in peace 15 minutes away<\/strong>, far from the town-centre noise.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Sainte-C\u00e9cile cathedral<\/strong>, the world’s largest brick cathedral, with its flamboyant rood screen. The Berbie palace<\/strong> and its gardens above the Tarn, home to the Toulouse-Lautrec museum<\/strong> \u2014 the world’s largest collection of the Albi-born painter. Fans of the painter can even sleep in our Lautrec-inspired double room<\/a>. The Old Bridge<\/strong> and the riverbanks for the classic photo, the covered market for local produce, and the Castelviel lanes for a stroll. Count one full day; two if you like to take your time or add a river cruise. For a livelier experience, book a guided tour \u2014 sometimes theatrical \u2014 with the Guides du Tarn.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
