Maison du Vieil Alby is a beautifully preserved medieval house located in the Vieil Alby district, the historic heart of Albi. This landmark building is the headquarters of the Albi Patrimoine association, which works to preserve and promote the city's heritage. The house itself is a fine example of 13th- and 14th-century architecture, with its distinctive timber-framed facade and stone ground floor. Visitors can admire the building from the outside, and occasionally the interior is open for special events or guided tours. The surrounding narrow streets are lined with similar historic houses, making this area a delight to explore on foot.
