Albi’s covered market

We'd like to take a moment to briefly introduce you to other points of interest that we weren't able to squeeze into our itinerary. First up, there's Rochegude Park, located in the cultural district of Cordeliers. This sprawling 4-hectare green oasis started out as private property. Today, it's a haven for nature lovers, housing a Renaissance hotel now used as a reception and cultural exhibition space, English and French formal gardens, a bird island and more. It's a must-see for any visitor to Albi – it truly has something for everyone! And if you're craving for more, there's always the Pratgraussals leisure park, just outside the city center. You've got over 13 hectares of green to enjoy the great outdoors. Unwind, play some games, burn some energy, have a picnic, or even try your luck fishing in the cute little pond they've set up there. And all this just 700 meters from the Saint-Cécile Cathedral! Feel like exercising in the heart of nature? Look no further – the Échappée Verte is for you. This 4-kilometer urban hiking trail winds through a preserved area, offering three routes for all fitness levels. Here's your chance to leave the city behind and enjoy a scenic and easy-to-follow trail, right at the foot of the Berbie Palace. Next, take a scenic cruise from the banks of the Tarn river aboard a traditional gabarre, a flat-bottomed boat traditionally used for transporting goods back in the day. Want to take your visit to Albi a step further ? Close to you you’ll find the Albi Tourist Office : don’t hesitate to go ask your questions, take one of the many guided tours and be inspired by the visits you can do in the surrounding area, such as the the Ambialet peninsula or Cordes-sur-ciel, one of most beautiful villages in France. You can also visit the website albi-tourisme.fr to find you next discovery. Well, with all this, you've got plenty of things to do, if you feel like staying in the area for a while.
