Less than an hour from Toulouse, Albi <\/strong>is one of the region’s most spectacular cultural getaways. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city impresses with its Sainte-C\u00e9cile Cathedral<\/strong>, a veritable red-brick fortress built in the XIII\u1d49 century. Inside, the monumental frescoes of the Last Judgment and the sculpted rood screen alone are worth a visit.

Then take time to stroll through the medieval streets of Old Albi<\/strong> or cross the Pont Vieux <\/strong>to admire the city reflected in the Tarn. Free admission to Albi Cathedral and the Berbie Gardens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
