Additional Information

Albi undeniably represents the southwest. Like the entire southwestern segment of France, it’s an epicurean paradise of duck (duck confit, foie gras), cheese, Gaillac wine, and hearty, locally-inspired cuisine like cassoulet or ‘aligot and saucisse’ (mashed potatoes with local cheese and sausage). It’s also a habitation for proficient and devoted craftsmen, such as artisan boulanger.

Our Albi Food Tour offers an exploration of its historical heart, enlightening you about culinary specialties and enabling encounters with friendly and fervent locals.

Enjoy a sampling of the area’s most emblematic foods in a distinctive, entertaining and unparalleled experience, where you will spend three hours in the shoes of a local, alongside a local expert sharing fascinating facts and tales from the local food heritage.

A gentle stroll and a filling lunch - Gentle stroll through Albi with a local who seems to know half the population! Several nice stops to taste local produce before a hearty lunch at the end. Nastia was a very kind and patient guide as we had a couple of young kids and I would recommend the tour to anyone who is passing Albi. It’s a bit in the expensive side bit you do get a full meal and some treats to take away also.
