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.
