Albi is a provincial city located in beautiful southern France, near Toulouse. It has been part of the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites since 2010 and has grown in popularity over the years, although it still remains unspoiled by tourism. Albi is definitely the most interesting small city in the Midi-Pyrenees region, with its imposing medieval buildings and impressive monuments. The birthplace of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is an ideal destination for those who love to visit unique places that are still off the beaten path. But small cities have their own disadvantages, especially in terms of accommodation choices. Is Albi different in that aspect? No. Does it still have great options for an amazing and relaxing stay? Yes! You’ll also find a wide range of things to do during your visit, from exploring historic sites to savoring delicious local cuisine. We’ve listed the best places to stay in Albi, France.
