The A9 known as La Languedocienne and the A61 known as L'Occitane form the backbone, completed by the toll-free A75 to Clermont-Ferrand. The Millau Viaduct, the world's tallest road viaduct, may be closed to high-sided vehicles in strong winds, requiring long detours. Driving in Albi requires juggling between 30, 50 and 70 km/h speeds over short distances, a central exercise to validate gearbox mastery and trajectory adaptation.
