From the districts of Vieil Alby which wrap around the Cathedral, the discovery continues down to the banks of the Tarn, this river which separates the city into 2 banks. The old mills, the Pont Vieux and beyond… the district at the end of the bridge is now the Madeleine district. From this bank of the Tarn, the panoramic view which opens onto the Episcopal City and the rooftops of Vieil Alby is breathtaking.
