LA BALADE DU PATRIMOINE

Put on comfortable shoes, as the walking tour format allows you to cover a large area of the city. The aim is not to go into detail about every monument and every period, but to sketch out the broad outlines of the city's history.

You'll get a taste of Toulouse's different atmospheres, from the bustling Place du Capitole to the spiritual Basilica of Saint-Sernin and the lively Garonne. The guide knows how to link the different places together, while highlighting a new light feature or a new restoration.

Along the way, you might even catch a glimpse of the soul of the streets or even of the brickwork, whether bare or rendered. Between trendy boutiques, studious booksellers and welcoming terraces, the guide also takes care to detail the curiosities, traditions and businesses of yesterday and today.
