Pont Vieux d'Albi
$22.00
The oldest bridge in Albi, begun in 1035 and still carrying foot traffic across the Tarn. It runs below the Cité Épiscopale, the brick fortress of Sainte-Cécile cathedral and the Palais de la Berbie, where the Toulouse-Lautrec collection now lives. The bricks of the bridge are the same warm pink-red the whole city is made from, which is why Albi is called la ville rouge. The Tarn underneath is slow and green. The view back across the river to the cathedral is one of the things people come a long way for.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
