From the Garonne to the Canal du Midi, and from Saint Sernin to the Cité de l'espace, the many different faces of Toulouse invite visitors to come on a journey of discovery. So accept the invitation offered and come to Toulouse as a pilgrim to its numerous churches, a student of the history of art (or simply an art enthusiast) to its museums and galleries, a navigator on the Garonne, and an expert on heavenly bodies to the Cité de l'espace. And then, content and overwhelmed with what you have seen, join our other guests in having just one final wish - to come back soon. From art of the antiquity to modern art, from Romanesque art treasures to impressionist masterpieces, from Ancient Egypt to the stars, Toulouse is home to some vital collections. The museums themselves are housed in buildings that are heritage jewels, or in astonishing converted industrial buildings. As you go from one museum to the next, you’ll discover the charms of the Ville Rose yourself. t is very often sunny here. Take your pleasure where you find it – chatting on the terrace of a café, stumbling upon the charm of a ‘place’ or the cool freshness of a fountain, walking around the bandstand of the Grand Rond, or across the flowering walkways that interconnect it with the Jardin Royal or the Jardin des Plantes. You can even play Madame Butterfly on the bridge of the Jardin Japonais Compans-Caffarelli. And don’t miss the serenity to be found on the quays of the Garonne and the banks of the Canal du Midi (listed as a “World Heritage” site). On foot, by bicycle, or by boat, you’ll be charmed by the mixed blue and pink reflections painted along the surface of the water by sky and brick walls. Less »
