The bridge has 8 arches and is 151m long.
The old bridge at Albi
We liked walking round the narrow cobbled streets in the centre. The town has plenty of small shops to look around and cafes, restaurants There is a market on most days at place Lapérouse. When we were there on a Saturday. they had a farmers market selling local produce. This is held every Saturday we also found a Flea market at the Castelvieil market hall this is on Saturday morning as well. I noticed they have a second hand book market on Wednesday and Saturday at the Rue Mariès. The Cathedral of Sainte Cécile is worth a visit it is quiet plain on the outside.
Inside it is the complete opposite the interior decoration as to be seen.
