Pont Vieux over the River Tarn
The Berbie Palace was another nice place to visit here in Albi. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site listing of the Episcopal City of Albi. Actually, most of this area in the center of town is very historical and a lot of it has been well preserved. The Berbie Palace gave me a good idea of the area and I found out that it was actually build beside the river. It was still elevated so you can a good view of the river. From there, I noticed that there seemed to be an old bridge which crosses the River Tarn.

I was still raining that day but when I saw the bridge it thought I should go visit it. I’m pretty sure it is also part of the heritage area. There are actually three bridges in the area but this one seem to be the oldest looking one. Sure enough, this bridge is called Pont Vieux or old bridge. The bridge appears to be just a pedestrian bridge though I might be wrong, there are large spans right next to the bridge so I would think that there is not a lot of traffic passing through the bridge if ever.
