the essential
The big Tarn festival will take place next week. La Dépatch du Midi gives you the right tips to get there safely.
The Pratgraussals site in Albi which will host from Thursday July 4 to Sunday July 7 is beautiful but isolated. We explain the different ways to access concerts.
Walk
With a little courage, you can park in the city center and continue your journey on foot.

Access the site by car
Remember that the concerts start at 7 p.m. If you leave at 6 p.m., you will inevitably be late. Take the lead. Leave early. By road, if you come from Albi, take the Pont neuf, then left towards Pratgraussals. On the Carmaux and Aveyron side, the easiest route is to take the direction of Pélissier.
Attention. If you are not volunteers, organizers, technicians or VIPs, you will not be able to enter the site. You will need to park in the official festival car park (Pelissier central station) 35 minutes walk from Pratgraussals. A free shuttle service is available every ten minutes to drop you off as close as possible to the site. The shuttles will take you back to the parking lot at the end of the evening.
Buses, bicycles, motorcycles
Another very practical solution is the bus. The festival, in collaboration with the Region, sets up 35 destinations across Tarn, Toulouse and Rodez for 4 euros round trip. But don’t forget to book on the Pause guitar website or on Lio.
For two wheels, free parking is located closest to the festival entrance. Guarding every evening by members of the Vélocratie association. A left-luggage stand will allow you to drop off your helmet or other equipment.
