Objective:

  • Discover Albi (Tarn) through the eyes of one of the great names in the city's history, Madame de Lapérouse.
  • take a journey back in the 18th century, the Age of Enlightenment, and explore life under Louis XVI.
  • Learn more about the famous Albi navigator, Jean-François de Galaup, known as Lapérouse.

Program

Dive into the heart of the 18th century in the episcopal city of Albi. During the tour, you will meet Madame de Lapérouse, the wife of the famous Albi navigator who set out to explore the Pacific. Walk alongside her in the historic heart of Albi to discover its history and life in Albi under Louis XVI: the destruction of the ramparts, life at the port, and the latest gossip about the city's prominent families!

Get to Know Your Guide/Character:

Eléonore Broudou was born in the 1750s and spent part of her life on the Isle of France. It was there that she met a handsome navigator, Jean-François de Galaup, known as Lapérouse. Eléonore became Madame de Lapérouse a few years later and experienced Albigeois life during the reign of Louis XVI. It was the King of France himself who sent her husband on an expedition across the Pacific in 1785, following in the footsteps of the great explorers of the Age of Enlightenment.

La visite en costume d’époque est une superbe idée. Lucie, la guide nous a appris plein de choses sur la ville d’Albi et l’histoire de Lapérouse. C’est immersif, divertissant et très bien documenté. Je recommande vivement l’expérience !

Nous avons passé un très bon moment en famille. La guide conférencière nous a régalé en nous promenant dans le cœur d’Albi au siècle des lumières… un discours historique et ludique de très bonne qualité. Bravo et merci…

Avis en occitan : avem passat un polit momento en familha. Nos sovendrem « del pissaire » de l’ostal Enjalbert. Osca a la « guide conférencière » que nos faguèt une visita de granda qualitat.
