Albi: A Stunning Southern French Gem

Nestled along the Tarn River, Albi feels like a slice of Southern Italy—charming, colorful, and full of history. With its breathtaking architecture (think Toulouse, but just 75 km away), a stunning cathedral steeped in Cathar history, and the famous Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, it’s the perfect place to kick off or wrap up a family cycling adventure. And yes, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site!

This medieval beauty is packed with stories. The Old Bridge (Pont-Vieux) and the Saint-Salvi quarter take you back to the 10th and 11th centuries, while the towering fortified cathedral—built in bold red brick after the Albigensian Crusade—shows off the power of the Catholic Church. Right next door, the Palais de la Berbie, the bishop’s grand palace, overlooks the river, surrounded by streets that still feel like they’re straight out of the Middle Ages. Albi’s old town is a time capsule, untouched and full of character.

Ready to explore? It’s the ideal start or finish for your cycling holiday!
