of the Midi-Pyrenees region. It is located on the Tarn River
76 kms northeast of Toulouse. The city centre is still much as
it was in the Middle Ages, a warren of narrow cobbled streets
and alleyways lined with gabled houses and half-timbered shops.
Albi was built around the original cathedral and episcopal group
of buildings, an historic area covering 63 hectares, with red
brick and tiles featuring on most of the buildings. Older than
the Palais des Papes in Avignon, the Palais de la Berbie, formerly
the Bishops' Palace of Albi, is now the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum,
one of the oldest and best-preserved castles in France. The musuem
contains more than 1000 works, including the 31 famous posters,
forming the largest public collection in the world devoted to
Toulouse-Lautrec. |
