Everyone knows the majestic Sainte-Cécile Cathedral , but did you know that Albi is best enjoyed through "slow tourism" ? While the Tourist Office offers a superb day trip itinerary, we recommend settling in at 16 Bis for a long weekend. Here's how to experience Albi at your own pace.
Day 1: Immersion in the Episcopal City (UNESCO)
Start with the beating heart: the Cathedral, the Berbie Palace and the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum. Stroll through the French-style gardens overlooking the Tarn .
In the late afternoon, lose yourself in the narrow streets of Old Albi and end with a sunset on the Old Bridge.
The plus of 16 Bis: Just 10 minutes from the center of Albi, you will find the calm of your cottage and the coolness of our shaded 80 m² garden to debrief on your visits under the guinguette lights.
Day 2: Culture, Fashion and Nature
Did you know that Albi is home to an incredible Fashion Museum ?
After this unusual visit, take "l'Échappée Verte" , a wild urban hiking trail that runs along the Tarn .
For lunch, try the covered market for its local produce.
The perks of 16 Bis : Take advantage of our secure parking to leave your car and its free charging point . Relax in our queen-size beds before starting your evening.
Day 3: The gems of the Gaillac region
Albi is the gateway to the oldest vineyard in France . Enjoy your last day visiting Cordes-sur-Ciel . voted favorite village of the French among the most beautiful villages in France, or enjoy a tasting in the heart of the Gaillac vineyard in one of the many cellars of Gaillac .
The added bonus of 16 Bis: If you're traveling in a group, our two adjoining cottages on the same floor can accommodate up to 8 people. Perfect for ending the weekend with friends around a Weber BBQ in the garden.
