Toulouse, surprising & welcoming

A city of heritage and a land of adventure

In Toulouse, life unfolds at a gentler pace, shaped by warmth and conviviality.
Bathed in southern light, the “Ville rose” charms with its pink-brick heritage, vibrant cultural scene and relaxed way of life. Exhibitions, festivals and concerts punctuate the year, while lively markets and sun-filled terraces invite you to slow down, linger and connect.

Gastronomy is a true expression of the city’s soul: authentic flavours, local produce and iconic regional dishes celebrate conviviality and pleasure. From wandering through the historic streets and elegant squares to strolling along the banks of the Garonne, Toulouse offers a warm and inspiring experience — where tradition and creativity meet, and every moment is meant to be enjoyed.
From April to September, join our official guided tour in English and uncover the city’s history and highlights.
