La Forge Vieil - "La Forgeronnette" - The Old Forge

"The Forgeronnette" - Martine Moulet is one of the rare Frenchwomen to be a "craftsman-blacksmith". For 30 years she works with happiness in her forging mill installed in an old private mansion of Albi.

She has recreated much of the ironwork in the Cathedral Saint-Cecile, just "a stone's throw" from the workshop.

With the passing of time, it has become a place that should not be missed in the city: which looks after the "bobos"(?) monument, pride of all the Albigensians.
