Albi is definitely a southwestern city. As the whole south west part of France, it is a land of duck (duck confit, foie gras), cheese, Gaillac wine, and rich, terroir food like the cassoulet or « aligot and saucisse » (mash potatoes with local cheese and sausage). But it is also a city where skilled and dedicated artisans live, such as artisan boulanger.

With our Albi Food Tour, you will explore its historical center while discovering food specialties and meet passionate and warm people.

Taste some of the region’s most significant dishes in a unique, fun and one-of-a-kind experience in which you will experience three hours as a local in the company of a local expert who will tell you curiosities and anecdotes about the local food tradition.
