Cozy house with garden
Welcome to our quiet house, a few steps from the center of Albi!
The house can accommodate 4 people: 1 bedroom with 1 bed 140 cm (thick futon on tatami), 1 bedroom with a sofa convertible into a bed 120 cm, and in the living room, 1 sofa bed 1 place.
It is located in a very quiet street of the historic district of the Madeleine, along the Tarn river.
The entrance corridor (earthenware tiles of the 30's) opens on the terrace and the garden, at the back of the house.
One bedroom overlooks the garden, the other, which also serves as an office, is on the street side.
At 200 meters, the Tarn river flows: after crossing the bridge, green walks along the river. Immediately after the bridge, you are in the old Alby, near the Toulouse-Lautrec museum and the Sainte-Cécile cathedral.
Around Albi, superb medieval villages, and hiking sites in various landscapes: causses, small mountains, lakes, forest of the Grésigne.
At 1 hour drive, there is the city of Toulouse (accessible by train), but also the granite massif of Sidobre, and Rodez with the Soulages museum.
We are less than 30 kms away from medieval cities (Cordes-sur-ciel, Lautrec) and remarkable natural sites (peninsula of Ambialet, lake of La Bancalié).
Bienvenue dans notre calme maison, à quelques pas du centre ville d'Albi !
La maison peut accueillir 4 personnes : 1 chambre avec 1 lit 140 cm (épais futon posé sur tatamis), 1 chambre avec un canapé convertible en lit 120 cm, et dans le salon, 1 canapé lit 1 place.
Elle se situe dans une rue très calme du quartier historique de la Madeleine, le long du Tarn.
Le couloir d'entrée (faïences années 30) ouvre sur la terrasse et le jardin, à l'arrière de la maison.
Une chambre donne sur le jardin, l'autre qui sert aussi de bureau, est côté rue.
A 200 mètres, coule le Tarn : après avoir traversé le pont, des promenades verdoyantes longent la rivière. Tout de suite après le pont, vous êtes dans le vieil Alby, près du musée Toulouse-Lautrec et de la cathédrale Sainte-Cécile.
Autour d'Albi, de superbes villages médiévaux, et des sites de randonnées dans des paysages variés : causses, petites montagnes, lacs, forêt de la Grésigne.
A 1h de route, il y a Toulouse (accessible en train), mais aussi le massif granitique du Sidobre, et Rodez avec le musée Soulages.
Nous sommes à moins de 30 kms de cités médiévales (Cordes-sur-ciel, Lautrec) et de remarquables sites naturels (presqu'île d'Ambialet, lac de la Bancalié).

On the river Tarn and the lake la Bancalie, we enjoy canoeing and kayaking.
