Albi, France
Friday August 8, 2008
The pretty village of Albi France, with its old building facades and its quaint old town, is probably best known for an ugly chapter in its history. This was the first city to provide refuse to the Cathars, and is the origin of a later name that was bestowed on the religious sect, the Albigensians.
On a lighter note, this is the birthplace of the famous artist, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. A visit to the city’s museum of the artist’s work is time well-spent.

Albi provided refuge to the Cathars, not refuse.Refuse? C’est autre chose, peut-être très mailsaine et puante.
Translation: refuge good, but refuse can be unhealthy and stinking. I’d change the letter.
