A fortress cathedral rises over blood-red rooftops in Albi, its tower casting a shadow as long as the city’s memory. Every stone here hides more than beauty—it conceals stories of rebellion, mystery, and silent intrigue.

With this self-guided audio tour, slip beyond the postcard facades and hear about moments most travelers never find. Let centuries-old secrets echo in your ears as you explore winding lanes and looming landmarks.

What led to a dramatic stand-off between faith and power beneath the painted vaults of Sainte-Cécile Cathedral? Why did the mighty Berbie Palace become a stamping ground for both tyrants and visionaries? Who vanished during a fateful night at the Saint-Salvi cloister, leaving behind only puzzling symbols etched in stone?

Uncover fierce controversies and hidden artistry as you move through Albi’s halls, cloisters, and bustling squares. This journey will forever change the way you see the city.

Begin now and pull Albi’s veiled stories from the shadows.
