Rodez: Musée Soulages, Cathedral Notre Dame de Rodez
Millau: Viaduc de Millau
On the banks of the Tarn river in south-west France, the old city of Albi
reflects the culmination of a medieval architectural and urban ensemble.
Today the Old Bridge (Pont-Vieux), the Saint-Salvi quarter and its church
are testimony to its initial development (10th -11th centuries). Following
the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathar heretics (13th century) it became
a powerful episcopal city. Built in a unique southern French Gothic style
from local brick in characteristic red and orange colours, the lofty fortified
Cathedral (late 13th century) dominates the city, demonstrating the power
regained by the Roman Catholic clergy. Alongside the Cathedral is the vast
bishop's Palais de la Berbie, overlooking the river and surrounded by residential
quarters that date back to the Middle Ages. The Episcopal City of Albi forms
a coherent and homogeneous ensemble of monuments and quarters that has remained
largely unchanged over the centuries.
This cycling holiday starts on the quiet roads of the Gaillac vineyards
West of Albi. You then head North through rolling countryside, visiting wonderfully preserved fortified villages (Bastides), the most famous of which is hill-top Cordes-sur-Ciel. These walled settlements, with grid-pattern streets and handsome squares, are now beautiful reminders of the great conflicts of the Middle Ages. More to North you will head to Najac the famous fortress in Aveyron.
Rodez, Cathedral and Musée Soulages
Good accessibility (railway) from the airport ofToulouse and (UK travellers Ryanair) the Airport of Rodez.
Winding river valleys, empty roads with just the occasional tractor. Gorgeous
Gaillac wines, plus the culture and old city of Albi, with its museums and
art galleries, its markets and medieval city centre. Albi is the perfect
start of a holiday. Rolling countryside, with half-timbered houses and the
walled 'Bastides'(Najac) that go back to the time of the Plantagenet Kings.
Easy to escape down meandering back roads and not see a soul for hours.
You will stay 2 nights in **** hotel Antoine in Albi, a night in a ChâteauHotel
near Najac ("L'un des plus beau villages de France").
In Rodez (Hostellerie *** Fontanges) you stay at the 18 holes golf-hotel.
In Millau you will stay at Château de Creissels from where you will ride
back through the valley of the Tarn and the Raspes du Tarn to Albi.
