The old town of Albi France
Albi photos and guide of our visit to the town
Albi is an old French town in the Midi-Pyrenees region of France.
The town is built on the banks of the Tarn river.
You can see in the first photo the Old Bridge built in 1035 it was originally stone. Later it was clad in the red brick and tiles the same as most of the old town.
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 Laperouse. 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 Maries.
The Cathedral of Sainte Cecile is worth a visit it is quiet plain on the outside. Inside it is the complete opposite the interior decoration as to be seen.
Albi
Toulouse-Lautrec Museum
Albi has the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum which houses the largest public collection of his work. The museum is in the 13th century former Bishop`s Palace. It is worth a visit to see the work of this famous Albi born painter.
The museum is just across the road from the Cathedral.A 5 minute walk form the town centre

We stayed in a gite about 15 miles from the old town.
