Welcome to Toulouse

Toulouse

Located in southwest France, between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, Toulouse is often called "la ville rose" ("the pink city"), and is the fourth largest French city. With a strong culture and a pleasant climate, this city is the perfect spot for your holidays - whether it is family holidays or holidays with your friends. Toulouse is also on the site of an ancient Roman settlement, from which it gained its culture. The nickname "la ville rose" actually comes from this Roman period: the city is called like this because of the many red brick buildings of a Roman style.

While there, make sure to visit the UNESCO-listed Basilique Saint-Sernin, as well as the Cathedral of Saint Etienne, the Couvent des Jacobins and of course the famous Place du Capitole. Also, enjoy the region's rich gastronomic heritage in one of the city's numerous cafés and restaurants, where you will be able to taste Toulouse's hearty specialties like cassoulet (meat and bean stew), la croustade de pommes (a kinf of apple pie), le panini de Toulouse or l'aillade toulousaine.
