Cycling Tarn Valley, Between Albi and Millau

From Albi, the "pink city" with its stunning brick-built old center, the renowned Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, and the majestic stone-brick Cathedral, to Millau, nestled in the heart of the Parc des Grands Causses, your journey along the Tarn River is nothing short of magical. As you walk or bike through the steep-sided valley, you’ll feel as though you’re in the mountains, even though you’re down in the valley between two hilly plateaus that rise up to 700 meters.

The Tarn River flows swiftly westward through this breathtaking landscape, also known as Vallée de l'Amitié—a warm and welcoming place perfect for hiking and exploration. To the east, the dramatic Gorges des Raspes du Tarn add to the adventure.

Along the way, you’ll discover ancient castles in Brousse-le-Château, Coupiac, and St. Izaire, as well as charming villages like Ambialet and St. Rome de Tarn. For centuries, life and local trade have thrived in these picturesque settings, making your journey a true step back in time.

After Millau, a pleasant small Mediterranean alike city, you go into to the better known Canyons of the Gorges du Tarn. Millau is an important centre of all kinds of activity holidays.

When booking a Tarn-valley tour  you start in Albi and bike upstream to the worlds highest viaduct.

From the second half of June, the chirring sound of cicadas will go all along with you as if in Provence.

South of the Tarn river, water acting on the limestone plateaux created caves, subterranean rivers, gushing springs. The most famous of the caves is now still used for the ripening of sheep cheese: Roquefort, king of cheeses, cheese of kings.

Pays de Roquefort also includes the Causse du Larzac with its restored Medieval Templars garrisons from where crusades set out in 10th-13th centuries, and the Redlands of Camarès with its Cistercienzer Abbaye de Sylvanès.

St.Affrique, a small Southern town, is the starting place of many walks in this walking area. The landscape exudes peace and unspoiled natural beauty.
You will see many sheep, you're in Roquefort-land.  You will for sure taste some of the 10 different Roquefort cheeses.
