One of the oldest castles in France, it now houses the works of local painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

Completed in the late 13th century, this fortress is one of the oldest castles in France! Over the course of its existence, the palace has undergone several changes. The main one took place between 1254 and 1357, with the installation of 7-metre-thick walls at the base, the construction of a massive keep and ramparts, and so on. Over the centuries, the bishops transformed the château into a covered pleasure residence with large salons, terraces and gardens. Today, the monument is a showcase for the works of local painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

Berbie Palace in Albi offers more than just a glimpse into history—it also provides unexpected delights along the way. While initially searching for the garden entrance, I stumbled upon a charming side alley between the castle and the river, offering a pleasant walking spot. Eventually, I found my way to the garden through the entrance near the museum, where the path diverged to the left, leading around the castle towards the jardin. Exploring the palace and its surroundings proved to be an enriching and memorable experience, filled with unexpected discoveries and picturesque views.
