Toulouse, the pink city, offers visitors a specific and unique architecture, with each century having left its mark.
From the Place du Capitole to the Church of the Jacobins, from the Daurade basilica to Saint George’s square, from the Hôtel de Pierre (mansion) to the hôtel d'Assézat (mansion), from the Augustins gallery to the modern art Abattoirs gallery, every corner of Toulouse reveals its gems and secrets to those who know how to seek them out.
In the heart of the city, St.Sernin’s basilica has watched over Toulouse for nearly a thousand years. It is an important stop on the medieval pilgrimage route, the Way of Saint James, with Saint Sernin’s basilica being hailed by the adage " Non est in toto sanctior orbe locus".
Nowhere in the world is there a place holier.
Besides its architecture, Toulouse offers its visitors a vast selection of festivals, concerts and exhibitions.
The cultural life is rich and we highly recommend that you make the most of your stay by taking in a show.
The main events are as followed :
Without forgetting of course the performances of the National Capitole orchestra, having a night at the opera, attending les Grands Interprètes classical music concerts at the Halle aux Grains concert hall and discovering the various theatres including the TNT (National Theatre of Toulouse) .
Another idea is to visit Airbus which opens up its doors for a factory tour.
You can find the exact dates and booking possibilities on the Toulouse tourist office web site as well as the programme for many other events.
Toulouse is also renowned for its South-Western France gastronomy and its tradition of ‘ bon-vivre’.
Regional products and specialities have pride of place on the menus in the Toulousain restaurants, including those of our Michelin-starred chefs and our local smaller restaurants. With such a wide choice you are sure to find a restaurant to your taste which suits your budget.
We can of course advise you to make your stay pleasant and enjoyable.
