No cycling today, just hanging around being tourists. It is nice to rest the legs and not to rush away in the morning knowing you have miles to cover.
It was a beautiful day in Albi today. We started off with a bateau ride on the Tarn. Unfortunately it was strictly French so we didn’t catch too much of the commentary, but enjoyed the views nonetheless. Next stop was the Toulouse-Lautrec musée where there is a very good collection of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s work. He was born in Albi and then left to study in Paris as an adult. He was a sickly man from birth due to a genetic bone disorder then struggled with alcoholism and died very young at 37. However he was a prolific artist and this museum has works that cover his entire career as well as his contemporaries. Quite enjoyable!
After an afternoon pause café we wandered around a bit more admiring all the medieval buildings and streets. The old city has been well preserved and restored.
The pont-vieux across the Tarn, dating from ~1000ad.
All queued up for the bateau ride.
Its all about HdTL today.
Medieval building well preserved.
