Description

The sports complex is located in Albi in the heart of the Tarn department and is composed of 2 high level sports facilities which allow the reception of multiple disciplines on the same site: the Municipal Stadium and the Cosec Gymnasium.

The Albi stadium is located 1.5 km from the city centre, and is the heart of the sporting life of Albi. It has been the focus of considerable investment, with major works including new lighting, the creation of a new athletics track and synthetic pitch, and the construction of a sports centre.

Situated 50 minutes from Toulouse, the town of Albi, whose Episcopal City is listed as a World Heritage Site, is accessible via air links from Toulouse-Blagnac and Castres-Mazamet airports, or regular SNCF train lines.
