Audio tour Summary
The historic heart of Toulouse, often called the Pink City because of the warm color of its bricks, stretches around the Place du Capitole, the nerve center and symbol of municipal power for centuries. Its narrow, winding streets, inherited from the Middle Ages, reveal a mosaic of eras and styles: half-timbered houses, Renaissance mansions built thanks to the pastel trade, Gothic churches, and civil buildings in pink brick. A few steps away, the majestic Basilica of Saint-Sernin, the Jacobins Convent, and the banks of the Garonne River bear witness to the city's religious and architectural wealth. Strolling through the old town is like diving into a lively and warm atmosphere, where history, art de vivre, and the gentle lifestyle of the Southwest come together.
