Tour description
Toulouse glows in warm terracotta pink, with buildings made from the local brick that earned it the nickname “Pink City” (la Ville Rose) and an unmistakable Mediterranean warmth. As the capital of southwestern France, the birthplace of the European aerospace industry, and a vibrant university city, Toulouse harmoniously combines history and youthful energy. On this walking tour, a local guide will take you to discover the very best of the city.
You will admire the magnificent Capitole and its arcaded square, visit one of Europe’s largest Romanesque churches, and stroll along the tree-lined banks of the UNESCO-listed Canal du Midi. Sunny, relaxed, and full of southern charm, Toulouse is a wonderful destination to explore on foot.
