    As part of a school trip with Catalan students, we greatly appreciated the availability and welcome of the driver as well as the ease of reservation. The train is very clean and comfortable and the circuit allowed us to discover Albi from another angle and to admire the architecture of the houses around the city center and especially the Sainte Cécile Cathedral.
