DISCOVER TOULOUSE
THE PINK CITY
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.
In the vicinity of 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 many other places...
