Cathedrale Sainte-Cecile

Reviewed By soloflyer2018 - Brisbane, Australia

The magnificent brick building with its amazing Gothic entrance is very hard to describe because it is so huge and apparently the largest brick Cathedral in that part of the world. But... when you enter inside that is when your breath is taken away...it is beautiful. Although it is a French Cathedral the Art is Italian and it is spectacular. I actually visited more than once because I could not absorb everything. The history, the color, the Art ,amazing and a definite "must see" in Albi.

Home of a young Toulouse Lautrec it is a beautiful building with a great collection of his art. There are also items of local history and a beautiful garden with views over the river.

Musee de la Mode

Reviewed By Chilternette - Henley-on-Thames, United Kingdom

I was very impressed by this small museum. This year’s theme is embroidery and there are pieces from evening gowns and uniforms to buttons, hats, waistcoats and shoes. The clothes are in superb condition and well displayed and lit. I took two teenagers who go round most museums at a run, but they were captivated and said they’d come away with inspiration for their own projects. The shop next door is a delight and sensibly priced for vintage items. I do hope the museum can expand one day - it’s good, and more would be even better.

Les Jardins de la Berbie

Reviewed By 4KiaraS - Chester, United Kingdom

Kudos to the gardeners who design and maintain this garden. It’s truly spectacular. I appreciate the effort it takes to create something beautiful like this. You can walk around and enjoy the views (I don’t think you can wander on ground level though, there was someone raking the pebbles when we went). There are gorgeous views of the bridges over the river and the beauty all around. Lots of great photo ops.

La Passerelle de Mazamet

Reviewed By Jackomdj

What a great experience. I am not very good with heights, but thoroughly enjoyed doing this with the family. The walk up was slow and steady, we chose the longer route up. Coming down the shorter, steeper route we said it would have been fine going up it. (I have osteoarthritis in my knees, but took pain medication before we arrived) The bridge does move a bit, but not too much. We then went on to the village at the other side where we enjoyed the views and an ice cream. Bonus was that it wasn’t too busy, and parking/the bridge were free.

Jardin des Paradis

Botanical garden, pleasure garden, refuge LPO Situated on the last terraces strengthened of Cordes-sur-Ciel, the Garden of the Paradises will amaze you by its games of water, his flower carpet and its exotic gasolines. Oasis of freshness and greenery, it is close to the original garden, of this enclosure where all the senses are filled, of this word "Paradise" which bequeathed to us the Persian etymology. Contemporary and greedy garden. Refreshment room and small restoration in free access on the terrace. Showrooms, play area child and shop.
