If you are looking for a quaint little destination that will titillate your senses and warm you heart, this is it!At the confluence of the regions of Auvergne and Occitanie, with an almost Tuscan charm, Albi is a must-see tourist destination in France’s Midi-Pyrénées Region. Structured around the Cathedral of Sainte-Cécile,a masterpiece of southern French gothic architecture and the Palais de la Berbie the episcopal City of Albi, which was classified a World Heritage Site in 2010, presents a homogenous architectural ensemble unique in the world.
Both a powerful archbishopric and “blooming” city, thanks to its trade in pastel flowers, Albi has expanded with the passage of time and adorned itself with an exceptional heritage. From the Cloisters of Saint Salvi to its Renaissance-era mansions from tiny medieval streets to urban perspectives from the 19th century and more recently to urban developments, it is a very unique city with a tremendous charm that this brochure invites you to discover.
Deeply attached to its past, but also looking into the future through its university, its mining school, and a dynamic economic fabric, in 2014 Albi’s Grand Théâtre des Cordeliers will provide a world class venue for hosting your business events.
