Albi & Cordes-sur-Ciel: Day Tour From Toulouse + Audio Guide

Additional Information & Description

Albi and Cordes-sur-Ciel bring two distinct stops into one day trip from Toulouse. Travel between them by bus, with Albi first and Cordes-sur-Ciel in the afternoon, before returning to Toulouse. The route combines city sightseeing with time in a historic old town, without limiting the day to a single destination.

Albi: museum, cathedral and time to wander

The first stop takes you to Albi, where the itinerary begins with the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum before continuing to the nearby Sainte-Cécile Cathedral. These two visits give the Albi portion of the day a clear focus: a museum followed by a historic church. Any remaining time can be spent walking around the city or stopping for lunch. Restaurants and cafés provide places to try local cuisine before you board the bus for the next leg of the journey.

An afternoon in Cordes-sur-Ciel

Arrive in Cordes-sur-Ciel in the afternoon and begin exploring with a visit to the chocolate museum. From there, continue through the old town’s historic streets and squares. This part of the itinerary moves from a named museum visit to a walk through the town itself, with its architecture and historical sites adding interest along the route. After exploring, return to the bus for the journey back to Toulouse.

Transport and audio guide

Roundtrip bus transportation is included, covering the outward journey, travel between the two stops and the return to Toulouse. The tour also comes with an audio guide available in English, French and Spanish. Meals are excluded, so lunch during the Albi stop remains separate from the tour.

Departure details and digital tickets

Allow seven hours for the tour. The departure point is 29 Allées Jean Jaurès in Toulouse, and you should arrive 15 minutes before departure. Tickets are delivered instantly, and smartphone tickets are accepted.
