Tarn to sell monument historique

The historic Moulins Albigeois
A familiar sight on the banks of the Tarn at Albi is the red brick edifice of the Moulins Albigeois, partly housing the Hotel Mercure, but also the LAIT art gallery. Originally built in the 12th century the moulin was used to mill flour, then later to manufacture pastries. When the building was restored towards the end of last century it was partly sold to the Mercure and partly to become an art gallery in the public part. Now the departmental council has decided to sell that part and the gallery must leave by the end of 2017. The hotel is thought to be interested in expanding into the extra space.
