The charming thing about the city of Toulouse in the south of France is primarily the building bricks it uses. These go back to an ancient tradition and wrap the city in shimmering warm colors: from soft pink to a radiantly bright orange. Just strolling through the colorful streets is worth a holiday. That alone is the delightful charm of Toulouse.
Sights in the city of warm colors
The city has history and this is best admired and marveled at in one of the numerous museums. Beautiful works of classical and medieval art can be admired here. The Capitola with its magical forecourt is also worth a visit. Likewise the majestic Saint-Sernin basilica, the Jacobin monastery and also the ancient Hotel d’Assézat.
Pure nature and other attractions
One of the main canals running through the pink city, the Canal du Midi offers pure refreshment. It is just as wonderful on the banks of the Garonne, where you can enjoy one of the most beautiful panoramas of the city. You stop either at the weekly market of the Capitol, in the quaint shops of the old town or on the Rau d’Alsace Lorraine. Here you will find everything your heart desires; for every budget.
