Program & Itinerary
Discover the UNESCO City of Albi
Located about one hour from Toulouse, Albi is famous for its Episcopal City, an exceptional medieval ensemble recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010. The highlight of the city is the Cathedral of Saint-Cecilia, an extraordinary fortress-like structure built between the 13th and 15th centuries and considered the largest brick cathedral in the world. Visitors can stroll through the historic center, admire the red-brick architecture and enjoy views over the Tarn River.
Explore the Hilltop Village of Cordes-sur-Ciel
Perched high above the surrounding countryside, Cordes-sur-Ciel is one of the most picturesque villages in the region. Founded in 1222, the medieval bastide preserves winding streets, Gothic houses and artisan workshops that give visitors the impression of stepping back in time. The village is often surrounded by morning mist, creating the impression that it is floating above the clouds.
Discover the Gaillac Wine Region
The tour continues through the vineyards of Gaillac, one of the oldest wine-producing regions in France with a history of more than two millennia. Here you visit a local winery and enjoy a tasting of regional wines, discovering traditional grape varieties and the winemaking heritage of southwest France.
A Complete Day Trip from Toulouse
Combining historic cities, medieval villages and authentic wine experiences, this full-day tour offers an ideal introduction to the landscapes and culture of the Tarn region.
