The delightful city of Albi is situated in the south of France, about 50 miles from Toulouse on the Tarn River. Albi dates from Roman times, and went through a restoration and expansion in the 13th century after the religous wars. Today, the city maintains its rich architectural heritage, and the region as a whole is well known for its vineyards and the scenic Tarn Gorge. Albi also boasts an extensive collection of works of its native son Henri Toulouse-Lautrec.
