Day Trip to Albi and Cordes-sur-Ciel

Your journey begins from 29 Allée Jean Jaurès in Toulouse, where we will set off at the appointed time. Within just one hour, we will arrive at Albi, recognized as one of the most enchanting cities in the Occitanie region and designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

During your visit in Albi, you'll enjoy four hours of leisure time to immerse yourself in its culinary delights and explore its iconic landmarks. You'll receive a brochure in English, which includes a city map and exclusive discounts for prominent museums and sites.

A visit to Sainte Cécile is highly recommended; this remarkable structure is the largest brick cathedral worldwide. Inside, you'll encounter stunning frescoes depicting sacred themes such as Creation and Resurrection. Adjacent to the cathedral, the Berbie Palace, once a papal residence, now showcases the Toulose-Lautrec Museum. Make sure to stroll through the beautifully manicured palace gardens, designed in the classic French style.

After exploring Albi, we will reconvene in the city center and proceed to Cordes-sur-Ciel, a charming village just a half-hour journey away. Here, you'll have two and a half hours to explore this medieval enclave at your own pace. The historic area retains several well-preserved fortifications, including the impressive Porte des Ormeaux, which served as one of the main entrances to the village.
