Historical and cultural highlights in Toulouse

Toulouse is the fourth-largest city in France. It is located on the banks of the Garonne and the Canal du Midi (UNESCO Heritage). Thanks to its rich history, Toulouse is full of magnificent buildings such as the Basilica of Saint-Sernin, Europe’s largest Roman church, or the superb thirteenth-century Dominican Church of the Jacobins. In addition to these real gems, the city is well worth a walk. You’ll travel back in time as you pass the Renaissance buildings. Useful information: Toulouse is also called the Pink City because of the pale pink stones of which many buildings are made. If you like art, visit the Augustine Museum in Toulouse where you can see a collection of Roman statues. The building itself is worth a visit, located in an impressive cloister from the Middle Ages.

Shop, eat and drink

If your city walks whetted your appetite, what you need to do is to visit one of Toulouse’s three covered market halls.
