Old Bridge over the Tarn River in Albi, Tarn (France)


On the banks of the Tarn river in south-west France, the old city of Albi reflects the culmination of a medieval architectural and urban ensemble. Today the Old Bridge (Pont-Vieux), the Saint-Salvi quarter and its church are testimony to its initial development (10th -11th centuries).

Pont Neuf (New Bridge) over the river Agout in Brassac, Tarn (France)

Il y avait un village tranquille
Et dans ses rues des enfants qui jouaient
Dans les bistrots les vieillards volubiles
Se souvenaient de tout et racontaient
Il y avait la paisible pagaille
Des gens venus de tous les horizons
Même s'ils vivaient parfois... vaille que vaille
Ils partageaient le vin et les chansons
