Historic Red Bricks & Riverside Sunsets
The perfect introduction to Toulouse’s medieval core, secret courtyards, and vibrant river culture.
Its towering, tiered bell tower is an icon of the city.
Skip the sit-down restaurants and instead graze directly from the ground-floor stalls—sample local cheeses, cured ham, and fresh baguette.
Look for the grand Hôtel d'Assezat, a spectacular Renaissance palace built from the wealth of the historic pastel (blue woad dye) trade.
Afterward, step into the peaceful, brick-lined courtyard of the Couvent des Jacobins to see its unique "palm tree" architectural columns.
For dinner, head into the lively Saint-Cyprien neighborhood across the river for a modern bistro meal.
