Christmas in Toulouse

Toulouse is the ideal destination for enjoying the festive spirit of Christmas. The shops compete with each other in the beauty and originality of their window displays, the market stalls showcase the best of the region’s gastronomy, and the illuminated streets enchant the city from the very last light of day.

The Grand Marché de Noël – Place du Capitole

Can you smell the mulled wine tickling your nose, and further afield the melted cheese, chocolate and spices? Don’t leave the Christmas market without sampling the region’s star dish: aligot aveyronnais.
