Depuis les Jardins du Palais de la Berbie
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palais_de_la_Berbie
Le palais de la Berbie est un ancien château urbain des évêques d'Albi, construit en 1228 et 1308. Il a été classé monument historique en 1862. Depuis 2010, il est classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO par son appartenance à l'ensemble architectural médiéval de la cité épiscopale d'Albi. Il voisine la cathédrale Sainte-Cécile pour laquelle il a éprouvé certaines techniques architecturales. Il partage avec elle et bon nombre de bâtiments de la vieille ville la brique foraine rouge.

The Berbie Palace is an old urban castle of the bishops of Albi, built between 1228 and 1308, which stands in the French commune of Albi, in the southwest of France.
Built during the second half of the 13th century, it was first intended as a prestigious residence. It then became a fortress, facing the hostility of the Albigensian population, both economically and religiously, with the Cathar heresy. Subsequently, it was several times revised by the bishops of the city between the 16th and 18th centuries, gaining in comfort without completely losing the appearance of austere fortress.
It was declared a French historical monument in 1862. Since 2010, it is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site by its membership in the medieval architectural complex of the episcopal city of Albi. It adjoins the Cathedral of Saint Cecilia for which it has tested some architectural techniques. It shares with it and many of the buildings of the old city the red brick fairground.

La courtine préservée constitue une promenade avec treillis en pergola qui mène vers une contre-terrasse et une terrasse haute (...) Le tout offre une vue imprenable sur le Tarn, la rive droite et le pont Vieux, éléments inclus dans le périmètre classé de la cité épiscopale. Les tourelles-contrefort sur lesquelles ont été créés de petits belvédères, accueillent les statues de style antique acquises au 18ème siècle par le cardinal de Bernis.
