Occitan in the streets of Albi

Guided tour followed by a recital of Occitan singing
For centuries, Occitan was the language spoken in Albi. Even today, it remains present at the turn of many streets. The Occitan Cultural Centre of the Albigensian invites you to discover those who bear an Occitan name and the history that goes with it.
In the Middle Ages, streets and squares did not yet have names. To find their way, the inhabitants designated neighborhoods, blocks of houses, remarkable buildings, fountains, ovens or bridges. Gradually, the practice of naming streets and squares became established. On the Laroche plan of the 18th century, most of the routes of Old Albi are already identified.
On 19 September, this stroll through the neighbourhoods of Vieil Albi will allow you to discover the origin of the name of the streets and imagine the atmosphere that once reigned there.
Departure and return at Place du Vigan, facing the rue de l'Hôtel-de-Ville.
The walk will be followed, at 5:30 pm at 28 rue Rochegude, by a restitution of the singing workshop of the Occitan Cultural Centre of Albigenses. The public will discover a repertoire of Occitan songs related to different cities, along a musical itinerary from Nice to Bordeaux.
