The Benedictine Abbey was founded in 754 at the foot of the Black Mountain. Throughout its history, the Abbey has undergone numerous changes : a seminary, a Royal Military School under the reign of Louis XVI, and then , under the director ship of Father Lacordaire, a famous and internationally well known school. Military, writers, philosophers and politicians were trained there, until its closure in 1991. Since 1993, the joint trade union has renovated this classified historic building and has been the subject of an ambitious project for the development of tourism and culture.The Sorèze Abbey-School is recognized as a pole of excellence and listed among the major attractions in Midi-Pyrénées.

The abbaye effectively contains two museums in one. Firstly the royal school covering centuries of education, gives a very good insight into the life of students yesteryear, but even better is the museum dedicated to the work of Frère Robert who brought a new sense to wall carpets and art. It is rare to find a museum so well laid out and enjoyable to spend time in. Well worth a visit.

While the Palace, that houses a very comprehensive Henry Toulouse-Lautrec collection might have been the draw card for our visit, it's complimented by the Cathedral of St. Cecilia. The Palace and it's garden amidst the beauty of Albi, makes for a very very special attraction. The Palace also houses works of other major painters which further adds to the appeal here. Much recommended, travel an hour for it, travel two hours or more, it's well worth it.
