Welcome to Toulouse

Toulouse is an essential stop-off in the heart of the southwest of France. Once the capital of the Visigoths and now the capital of the air and space industry, Toulouse invites you to explore its 2000 years of history. Here, a Roman basilica, there, a discrete mansion house with an imposing doorway, further on a converted industrial building, a façade with astonishing terra cotta decor, the murmur of a fountain, a hidden courtyard…Let yourself be guided through quarters that blend history and modernity.

Things to Do

Toulouse is a city of color, with its façades of pink brick, its emblematic flower the violet, and the blue of the pastel...it is the ideal destination for your holidays or weekend breaks filled with walks and visits. Situated in the heart of the southwest, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, the "Ville Rose" joyously combines heritage and art de vivre.

From the River Garonne to the Canal du Midi, from Saint-Sernin to the Cité de l'Espace, on guided visits, the little tourist train, or a boat trip, your stay in Toulouse will be a moment of pure pleasure.
