De briques et de bois

😊: A beautiful, small (but tall) house showing the local materials inside and out on a quiet street. There are several little restaurants on the street and is very close to the cathedral, so it is a perfect location.. 😢: The private garage for parking is only really suitable for smaller cars - it was very difficult to maneuver into. There were no instructions provided on how to lower the bollards (with the provided key) on the street to be able to access the garage. The front door lock was stiff and temperamental. We were lucky to have been helped by the lovely owner of the neighbouring restaurant, "Le Petit Voisin", who happened to have been outside when we arrived. Without him, we would have been struggling a lot longer..

😊: The location is amazing with restaurants nearby and shops along with the beautiful Cathedral within view. The river is nearby too so a great location with everything close by..

😊: Ideal location - a few minutes walk (pedestrianised) from the centre of Albi. Great for shopping (which we did a lot of!), as not too far at all to carry shopping bags. Very clean and a wonderful conversion of an old town house - very atmospheric. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The twin beds on the second floor can actually be made into a large double (on request) which made our sleeping arrangements very comfortable indeed. We could have had use of the garage but - as we’d found a space in a free car park about a 10 minute walk away - we left the car there. Restaurants literally next door, although we didn’t eat at any of them, having selected a couple of other restaurants to try. The kitchen was well-equipped and - as the fabulous covered market (with a supermarket underneath) is less than a five-minute walk away - this made self-catering very easy indeed..

😊: everything was brilliant, nothing negative to say.. 😢: location hard to find when you first arrive and garage tricky to get into..

😊: Very central location with all mod cons. Beautifully appointed.. 😢: The kitchen area was very tight and not the easiest to move around in. Lots of steps but not a problem for us as we had fitness and youth on our side but could be for older people or those with young children..
