The next stop will be at the medieval town of Najac Listed among the most beautiful villages of France, in the old province of Rouergue . Its 13th-century royal fortress, perched on top of a rocky spur, picturesque houses with thackstone roofs, Gothic church, pretty fountains and viewpoints over the peaceful Aveyron Valley make it a dream destination for lovers of old buildings and authenticity.Last stop of the tour will be at old Albi Admirably situated on the edge of the River Tarn, forms a magnificent group of buildings with its brick-built fortified cathedral, its former episcopal palace and its old houses. Albi's combination of brick and stone buildings have earned it the apt nickname .

Next to the cathedral, the Berbie palace, an former episcopal palace, is home to the Toulouse-Lautrec museum. The charming and very romantic gardens of the Berbie palace offer a beautiful view of the river and of the Pont-Vieux bridge.
