Albi - Place du Vigan

The center of Albi is the Place du Vigan. In Rue Timbal, which runs northwest from the square, is the Hôtel Reynè, a handsome Renaissance mansion built by a wealthy merchant family, with fine busts of Francis I and Eleanor of Austria in the courtyard. Facing it is the Pharmacie des Pénitents, a typical 16th C building. To the west of the Place du Vigan is the 16th C Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall).
