Visiting Toulouse
Distinguished as ‘The Pink City’, Toulouse woos its visitors with the distinct pink-coloured brickwork used to build some of its most treasured buildings including the sensational Capitole. The historic city sits along the Garonne River on the southern French border between the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. In the 17th century, it became part of an important trading route when it connected the Atlantic and Mediterranean with the Canal du Midi via the Garonne. Many visitors admire the Canal du Midi for its outstanding engineering and fascinating beauty as they walk, cycle, or boat along it. Meanwhile, the city centre awaits to fill visitors’ hearts and bellies with classical opera and fantastic food.
