Toulouse, often called La Ville Rose for its warm terracotta brick buildings, is one of France’s most atmospheric cities—a place where history, culture, science and a vibrant southern lifestyle blend effortlessly. Strolling through its sun-drenched streets, you immediately feel the unique character shaped by centuries of architectural beauty and the lively spirit of Occitanie. At the heart of the city lies the magnificent Place du Capitole, a grand square framed by the iconic Capitole building, home to the city hall and theatre. Its elegant façade reflects the golden tones of the region’s brickwork, especially magical during sunset. From here, narrow streets lead you to medieval treasures like the Basilique Saint-Sernin, one of the largest Romanesque churches in Europe and a key stop on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. Toulouse’s connection with water is equally strong. The peaceful Garonne River divides the city, offering scenic walks, bridges and riverfront viewpoints—particularly stunning near the Pont Neuf. Not far away, the historic Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, invites visitors to enjoy cycling paths, boat trips or quiet shaded strolls beneath centuries-old plane trees. Yet Toulouse is also a city of innovation. It is the European capital of aerospace, home to Airbus, the Cité de l’Espace and numerous scientific institutions. Visitors can explore real spacecraft, interactive exhibits and full-size rockets, celebrating the city’s role at the forefront of aeronautics. Culturally, Toulouse thrives with museums such as Musée des Augustins, Les Abattoirs and the charming Muséum de Toulouse, while its food scene highlights regional stars: cassoulet, foie gras, violet-flavoured sweets and vibrant markets like Marché Victor Hugo. Warm, welcoming and full of life, Toulouse offers the perfect mix of tradition and modernity. Whether for its historic heart, riverside charm, culinary delights or pioneering spirit, the Pink City leaves a lasting impression on every visitor.
