Complimentary Walking Tour of Toulouse

Our adventure begins at the Allees du President Franklin Roosevelt in Toulouse, setting the stage for our journey through La Ville Rose, or the pink city. From this point, we will proceed to the famous Allées Jean Jaures. Next, we’ll pause at the remarkable Wilson Square before heading towards Capitole Square, the very core of the city. Here, we can appreciate the majesty of Capitole, which lends its name to the square. Constructed in the 1750s, this town hall features an exquisite façade and houses the distinguished Théâtre du Capitole, celebrated as one of France's eminent opera houses, alongside the elegant Salle des Illustres (Hall of the Illustrious).

Onward, we will visit the Convent of Jacobins, home to the notable Church of the Jacobins. This iconic structure is famed for its remarkable 13th-century vaulted ceiling, aptly nicknamed "The Palm Tree" due to its distinctive design. Following our time here, we will make our way to the charming Daurade Square and admire the adjacent Daurade Church. Our next highlight will be the stunning Pont Neuf (New Bridge), which, contrary to its name, has stood for almost 500 years.

We will continue our exploration at St Cyprien, as well as the beautiful Raymond VI Gardens, then venture to Pont St Pierre and its accompanying Square. Our tour will conclude at the magnificent Basilica of Saint-Sernin, a site of great historical significance and the largest Romanesque church in Europe.

As we reach the Basilica of Saint-Sernin, it’s time to bid farewell, wrapping up our engaging journey approximately two and a half hours after we began.
