Albi is remarkable for its impressive Sainte-Cécile fortified cathedral and his Berbie Palace, former palace of Archbishops of Albi, which dominate the historic city center and the river. Hometown of Henri from Toulouse-Lautrec, it houses a museum bringing together the largest collection of his works in the world. Finally,

Albi is above all a historic high place whose name was given to the followers of the catharism, the Albigensians, who suffered violent repression in the 13th century from the Roman Catholic Churchknown as Albigensian Crusade. The Sainte-Cécile cathedral was built by the catholics to fight against cathars.

The episcopal city of Albi has been added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage on July 31, 2010.
