Meander Through the Tarn Valley

Cycle through history on this family-friendly route, crossing six railway bridges and ten tunnels—with options to bypass the longer tunnels (over 100m) for those who prefer open skies. This scenic journey is perfect for adventurers of all ages, blending the thrill of tunnels with the beauty of breathtaking bridges.

Your adventure begins and ends in Albi, a charming town along the Tarn River that feels like a slice of Southern Italy. Known for its distinctive red-brick architecture, reminiscent of nearby Toulouse (just 75 km away), Albi is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here, you can explore the awe-inspiring Cathar-era Sainte-Cécile Cathedral and the world-famous Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, making it an ideal mix of adventure and culture for families.

Albi’s old city is a treasure trove of medieval history. The Old Bridge (Pont-Vieux), the Saint-Salvi quarter, and its church date back to the 10th and 11th centuries. After the Albigensian Crusade, Albi flourished as a powerful episcopal city. Its towering fortified Cathedral—built in a unique southern French Gothic style—stands as a symbol of its past, while the Palais de la Berbie and the surrounding medieval quarters offer a remarkably preserved journey through time.

Don’t miss the vibrant market along the Tarn River, where local flavors and crafts add to the town’s allure. Albi isn’t just a destination; it’s an experience that seamlessly combines cycling, culture, and history for an unforgettable family holiday.
