It's leaving for a moment of history. An excellent opportunity to learn for example … why the tower of the Saint-Salvi collegiate church is called a jug, from the Occitan “gachar”: “to watch”. This XNUMXth century brick tower is a watchtower from which the watchman watched for fires or storms that could threaten the city. He also signaled daybreak and nightfall by blowing a horn three times through each window in the tower.
The barges formerly transported goods because there was a port in Albi. Today, they transport visitors. Today new boats are sailing on the Tarn to appreciate the calm of the river, the incredible views of the bridges and the episcopal city, wildlife : herons, birds of prey, bee-eaters, migrating birds and sometimes even wild boar swimming across.
