Saint Cecilia Cathedral is the largest brick cathedral in the world. You can see it from a distance before you arrive in Albi.
There was a celebration with dignitaries and military personnel at the Monument aux Morts when we arrived.
The Grand Theatre des Cordeliers is covered in gilded copper mesh.
The Saint Cecilia Cathedral is a fortified castle from the outside and a rich palace inside with decorations dating back to the 15th century.
The entry is impressive.
It's free to walk inside the cathedral but it'll cost €2 to see the Grand Choir and Treasury.
Albi also has a Toulouse-Lautrec museum. The artist was born in Albi in 1864. Entrance to the museum costs €9. Off-season, the museum is closed from noon-2 pm, so plan accordingly.
We had lunch on the streets. Ham & cheese crepe (€4) and nutella crepe (€2).
