Le cloître de la Madeleine (Albi)

Ancien couvent des Capucins - XVIIe siècle
Former Capuchin convent - 17th century

A place full of History

Built in the 17th century, the cloister of the Capuchin convent became a hat shop in the 19th century as part of the industrial project of J. Maraval in the Madeleine district.

An ambitious renovation

Since the 1990s, several owners have succeeded each other and initiated a renovation program for this building located in the former working-class neighbourhood of Albi.

Summer concerts

For two years, the association L’Atelier des Arts du Noble Val has been organising summer concerts in the cloister with the project of making it “a place of musical excellence”.
