Albi

Surrounded by the rich valley of the Tarn River, the Unesco-world heritage city of Albi stands out with its stunning red brick architecture, unique to the Languedoc. The Cathedral of Saint Cecile greets you on the Tarn river, looming with expansiveness. Surrounding the cathedral, wander down cobble-stone streets of the Old City. Cross the Pont Vieux, the arched bridge, which has been walked upon for over a millennium. Albi is home to the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, which with over 1000 works houses the largest collection of Toulouse-Lautrec’s work. The museum is set in the Palais de la Berbie, one of the oldest and best-preserved castles in France.

Carcassone
Carcassonne is an ideal base from which to explore the surrounding Languedoc wine areas. The medieval city itself, though certainly touristy, is nonetheless a site to behold. Staying within the walls of the city provides a magical backdrop for night time walks, options to dine in its many restaurants, and a variety of shops to browse. For participants who desire more seclusion, we can arrange lodging in chateaux or closer to the Mediterranean sea.

Castres
Stop for a day-trip to the small city of Castres. In Castres, enjoy the Goya Museum, France’s largest collection of Spanish art. This small, intimate museum, houses paintings of Picasso, Velasquez, Murillo and Goya, including some of Goya’s rare collections of drawings, which are exhibited for only six months every ten years. Wander along the Agout River, and observe the picturesque houses, where weavers once famously made wool.

Saint-Girons

Saint-Girons is a large town in the valley, which for several years has severed as the central trading point of the many small villages in the surrounding mountains. Visit the town on the weekend, and you will discover one of France’s most vibrant and extensive open-air markets where all local products are sold.

Toulouse
Toulouse is the capital city of the Midi-Pyrenees. It is a vibrant cosmopolitan with many shops, restaurants and night-life. What makes this city stand out, however, is its ability to present the excitement of city life with humility, grace and friendliness. The aesthetics of Toulouse are simply impressive: the charming residences with lavender shutters and wrought-iron balconies set along winding, tree-lined streets complete an aesthetic unity rarely preserved in cosmopolitan centers today. Enjoy the city’s public spaces: the beautifully designed Jardin des Plantes, the impressive square of the Capitole de Toulouse, or the lively banks of the Garonne. A visit to the Saint-Sernin Basilica will reveal the largest Romanesque church in Europe and France’s most beautiful pipe organ.
