Toulouse is an essential stop-off in the heart of the south west 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.
A city with a rich heritage.
