20 minutes from Albi, in a medieval village in Tarn, a 13th-century residence with a courtyard, garden, and view of the Cérou valley. The remarkable limestone building, oriented east-west, features medieval architecture of great authenticity, naturally situated in a cobbled street in the center of the village, between alleys, shops, and ancient ruins, with a main thoroughfare that runs through the upper part of the town. It is built on the old town ramparts and is organized into four levels. Its street-facing facade is protected as a historic monument. The verticality of this elevation gives the building its monumental character. Its facade, designed for civil use, is entirely made of stone and features a very regular composition, organized in bays and levels separated by floor bands. The ground floor, historically for commercial use, is rhythmically punctuated by large pointed arch openings, with carefully fitted stone framing. The upper levels, on the other hand, have narrow Gothic windows framed by engaged pilasters and small columns supporting small capitals at the arc openings. The cladding combines rubble masonry with architectural elements in dressed stone, notably at the frames, chains, and supports of the openings. The whole reflects the quality, still intact, of Gothic civil architecture that flourished in the village in the 13th century. While the ground floor typically includes the living room and kitchen, next to an inner courtyard that occupies the center of the large home, the upper floors house no less than six bedrooms and three bathrooms. The garden level, in turn, accommodates guest accommodation and an indoor pool. Finally, at the rear of the building, there is a modest-sized Mediterranean garden with a careful composition, overlooking the tops of the surrounding buildings and the countryside in the distance.
