DISCOVER TOULOUSE
LA VILLE ROSE
Toulouse, just 1 hour from our Tarn campsite, is the capital of the Haute-Garonne region.
As you stroll through the city, you'll see why it's nicknamed " la ville rose " (the preferred building material is terracotta brick). The capitol (home to Toulouse's town hall) is built from these terracotta bricks. It's also the city's central square. At the back, don't miss the Archives Tower. Its distinctive slate roof.
Near the Capitol, you can visit :
- The Jacobins convent: built in 1229.
- Saint Sernin basilica: Romanesque church.
- Saint-Étienne Cathedral: built in the 5th century, this cathedral combines two Gothic styles.
And much more...
