A 44-kilometer stretch of an old railroad track connecting the cities of Albi and Castres has been converted into a greenway (a 3-meter-wide sand-surfaced path). Developed by the Tarn Department, this project makes use of the right-of-way of the former railroad line built in 1869 between Rodez and Castelnaudary to transport passengers and coal from the mines of the Carmaux basin. The choice of materials and the care taken in maintaining the hedgerows are intended to preserve the natural character and rural atmosphere of this area. This greenway, a space with multiple uses, is a place to connect with the landscapes, flora, and fauna. Please respect the fragility of nature… Be mindful of the welcoming atmosphere of this space. The starting point on the Albi side is in the town of Puygouzon, located on the RD71, 1.5 km from the Gamm Vert roundabout. Sixteen parking lots along the route allow users to access it from various points.

Following the left bank of the Tarn for 3 km, the Chemin de la Beaute (from the word "Veaute" or "voute") follows the meander around a wooded ridge overlooking the river by 150 to 200 metres. Starting from the small village which has preserved its schistose stone houses, in the hollow of the valley, preserved by the road access formed by two tunnels (constructions planned for the passage of a railway line), the path follows two parts of the GR®36 with passages overhanging the Vallée du Tarn Valley. 8 km of discovery, pleasant for the coolness in summer and allowing beautiful plunges on the landscapes of valley and plateaus of Ségala.

During your walk, you will have to walk along and cross the three streams, as indicated by its name: the Infernats, the small stream and the Lézert. Even if these three streams are not rivers, it is recommended to be careful when crossing them in wet weather. The Lézert is a tributary of the Dadou which has its source in the commune of Teillet. In Bellegarde, the climate is slightly milder and therefore allows the cultivation of vines which are part of the "Cunac" appellation zone of the Gaillac vineyards. On the way, you will see a few crosses: at Servy, Lévior and Truel and you will cross the Cantarane bridge, built in 1877. This bridge is also used by the Lou Cami de Theoullet trail, which starts at Teulet, in the commune of Mouzieys-Teulet.

The commune of Mouzieys-Teulet, united by an order of August 8, 1833, was born of the merger of MOSIEIS, whose parish Jean-Baptiste de Mosieis depended on the viscounty of Ambialet and Notre Dame de Theoullet (a place where tiles were made). In Teulet, only the chapel (11th century) remains from the fortified village: Motte de Taillefer, around which it was built. The motte castrale corresponds to the need to build a place of power in a natural relief that is not very favourable to defensive sites such as plains and valley bottoms: it is used to control communication routes. The path starts from the Taillefer chapel and winds its way between plains, hills and valleys, through woods, fields and pastures. It follows part of the Lézert, a small river which it crosses at the Cantarane bridge built in 1877. It passes through the hamlets of La Picounié, Puech del Cau, la Négrarié and Taillefer.

From this terrace you can appreciate one of the finest panoramas of the Episcopal City: the river, the scows on the Tarn, the roofs of Old Alby... Jean-François de Galaup de Lapérouse was a native of Albi, born in 1741 in the Gô Manor House. Louis XVI, France's king at this time, appreciated the human qualities and the seafaring talents of the young naval Captain. He was entrusted with the greatest expedition of Louis XVI's reign, being given 2 ships called the Boussole ("the compass") and the Astrolabe. 225 men, sailors, scientists and artists left Brest in 1785, sailing to Brazil, Chile, California, Alaska, Russia, China, Australia ... and ran aground in Vanikoro (Solomon Islands) in the Pacific in 1788. During this trip, he carried out precise and valuable work on cartography and scientific research.

Once a former Bishops' Palace, the Berbie Palace and the Sainte-Cécile Cathedral form a striking and unique collection in the Episcopal City, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2010. It is the prestigious jewel of the Toulouse-Lautrec museum, with an international reputation. Built during the 13th century, the Berbie Palace is one of the oldest castles in France, older than the famous Popes' Palace in Avignon. The Palace of the Bishops of Albi or Berbie Palace (an Occitan word meaning bishop) was built on a naturally fortified site, overlooking the Tarn. Its military architecture affirms the power of the bishops against the consuls of the city. Over the centuries, the bishops transformed it into a leisure residence. Classified as a historic monument in 1862, it is one of the best preserved episcopal palaces in France. In the main courtyard, flanked by two towers, one now arrives at the entrance to the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum. A visit to the palace is closely linked to the discovery of the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum: vaulted medieval rooms, pavements from the Middle-Ages, painted ceilings, chapel, gardens, renaissance gallery, large salons ... all of these in one building! We recommend allowing 2 hours to fully appreciate the Berbie Palace and Toulouse-Lautrec Museum.

Listed as a World Heritage Site (UNESCO) since July 31, 2010, "Albi the Episcopal City" ranks among the 911 high places of natural and cultural heritage of Humanity. 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 ensemble, which has now become exemplary 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. Choice of visit to follow with a tour guide or with an audio guide. Inquire at the Tourist Office.

The collegiate Church of Saint Salvi, named after the 1st bishop of the city of Albi in the 6th century, has stood proudly at the corner of Sainte-Cécile square since the 11th century. This monument is one of the largest Romanesque churches in Albi. A visit to this monument completes a historic tour of Vieil Alby. Feel your curiosity increasing as you climb the stairs, the cloister is there, nestled in the heart of the old city. THE COLLEGIATE During the 11th century, the foundations of a white stone church were added to the presumed burial site of Saint Salvi. Note how the mixture of stone and brick coincides with the change of materials in the 13th century. Looking at the building, it is possible to see the various architectural phases and the switch from Roman to Gothic. Inside the church, 6 large paintings, donated by the Consuls of Albi in 1725, relate the life of Saint Salvi and the history of the city. At the far end of the church, under the Moucherel Organ, a set of human-sized sculptures “Christ with links” are full of surprising details and colours.

The Berbie Episcopal Palace is next to the powerful Sainte-Cécile Cathedral. The magnificent Palace Gardens, registered as a 'Remarkable Garden', is hidden behind the brick giant with its massive, military appearance. These gardens are one of the most visited locations in the city. The gardens of the Berbie Palace are classic: boxwood arabesques on a bed of white gravel, simply accompanied in summer by a quality floral display. One of the City’s gardeners works there and is responsible for its organic maintenance (chemical treatment is prohibited), its pruning and the summer planting.

It can be the starting point for walks and hikes or mountain bike rides (marked trails).
