Village UNESCO Albi

History and charm!

Albi, UNESCO city

Albi has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 2010. And with good reason! It’s the stuff of dreams for all visitors. In fact, even the locals are still under the spell of this unique city.

Albi stands out for all its brick buildings, from the must-see Sainte-Cécile cathedral in the city center to the old half-timbered houses and the railway viaduct. This omnipresence of brick has earned Albi the nickname of “ the Red City “.

Albigensian bricks were baked in the Middle Ages and made from earth found in the Tarn riverbed. They were more accessible and available than stone. Which explains why they’re found almost everywhere. The town remains the only one in Europe to feature this type of architecture.

In short, a visit to the Episcopal City of Albi is like stepping back in time and traveling into another dimension. In addition to its cultural heritage, the city also boasts a significant natural heritage.
