Coming to Albi without making a detour to the Sainte-Cécile cathedral is not possible. This religious building in red brick will amaze you as it is so imposing. For my part, it reminds me of an immense stone vessel. Faced with such majesty, you will understand why it has been classified with the episcopal city of Albi since July 31, 2010 on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The first cathedral dates back to the 4th century, but it was during the 13th century that it was profoundly modified by major works. Under the aegis of Sainte-Cécile, patron saint of musicians, take the time to visit this marvel. It is the most visited cathedral in France ahead of Notre-Dame de Paris.

Saint CECILE, to whom the cathedral in Albi was dedicated, is, among the large circle of saints, primarily responsible for good sound - if one can put it so casually at this point - because she is the patron saint of church music. Many religious choirs are named after her. The dates of her life from the corresponding saint's legend are not historically certain, but she is said to be a martyr from the beginning of the third century. The patron saint's feast day, i.e. her memorial day in the calendar of saints, is on November 22nd in all major Christian denominations.

Beautifully situated on the banks of the Tarn, Albi lives up to its name as the "red city"! This bishop's city, built of brick and stone and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is considered one of the pearls of southwest France. The reason for this? Its beautiful buildings and picturesque charm.

The Sainte-Cécile Cathedral is a jewel of Gothic architecture in the south of France. It is the largest brick church in the world. It is also the largest church in Europe whose walls are still completely painted.

Superb view of Ambialet and its peninsula, created naturally by a meander of the Tarn, which embraces it for three kilometers. It is dominated by an old priory, perched on a shale ridge. At the level of the dam, the narrowest isthmus in Europe is located!
