La Cité épiscopale, Patrimoine Mondial UNESCO

If we talk about it so much, it's partly because of the red brick. This brick which was used in the Middle Ages to build an urban complex, which has now become an example but also the only legacy in Europe of this architectural model.

There is nothing so wonderful as plunging on foot into the historic districts that surround the two giants: Castelviel, Castelnau, Bourg St Salvi and the Combes and banks of the Tarn. A real labyrinth where we take pleasure in strolling and being curious.

Your choice of visit with a tour guide or via heritage circuits. Find out more at the Tourist Office.
