13.  Albi Cathedral, Occitanie

This cathedral is the world’s official largest religious brick building. It resembles fortified castles or bastions. Its exterior’s austerity and stark lines provide a stark contrast to the building’s ornate interior. Inside it features flamboyant ornamentation and vibrant colors. Gold covers the pillars, vaults, and walls. The organs include lavish woodwork and there’s also the fantastic fresco of the Last Judgment.

14.  Tarn Gorge, Occitanie

Local legend has it that the Merovingian princess Énimie, sister of King Dagobert, reportedly had leprosy until the waters of the Burle somehow cured her. The Burle is actually a small tributary of the above-mentioned Tarn River. The little village of Sainte-Énimie and quaint capital of the Tarn Gorge is the starting point to your enchanted journey through this canyon. It runs 53 kilometers east to west, and the iver is lined with a series of memorable sites.
