   Albi is a superb place to visit to eat out. There is a huge choice of restaurants, and generally the quality is good. There are many cheap and cheerful ‘Menu du Jour’ restaurants around the Cathedral, but you can also find some super fine dining too. Three restaurants I have visited and can recommend are: le Lautrec housed in the converted stables ...

   • Albi Cathedral. This hulking cathedral was erected in the 13th-century, on the back of the Albigensian Crusade that crushed the Cathar sect. The building was meant to convey the authority of the Catholic church and this fearsome edifice does that successfully even now.
   • Musée Toulouse-Lautrec. Chances are that you know the work of the 19th-century artist and illustrator Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec even if you don’t know the name.
   • Jardins de la Berbie. Once you’ve finished in the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum come for a dignified amble above the formal gardens slotted between the Palace de la Berbie and the left bank of the Tarn River.
   • Pont Vieux. There’s no grander entrance to the Episcopal City than via this 150-metre 11th-century bridge. Pont Vieux is one of France’s oldest bridges still in everyday use.
