Free Tour of Toulouse: History, Art, and Culture
Tour description
Discover with me the soul of the Ville Rose!
I propose a walk through its must-see monuments, the result of great historical moments, without forgetting those charming corners that, more discreetly and invisibly, build the true identity of Toulouse.
During the tour, we will discover the history of Toulouse through its architecture, art, and famous figures, in an enjoyable, dynamic, and approachable way.
In Capitole, you will learn about the history of Palladia Tolosa, protected by Athena, and why Toulouse is the city of culture.
Can you imagine how in medieval times the inhabitants filled the squares in popular assemblies like in Ancient Rome?
We will follow the steps of the Camino de Santiago to the majestic Basilica of Saint-Sernin, exploring the language of the troubadours: Occitan and the traces of Spanish exile.
In the Convent of the Jacobins, we will delve into the history of the Cathars and a region marked by religious wars, punished for its independent spirit and ahead of its time.
And, of course, we will talk about the Renaissance... do you know what pastel color everyone knows in the city?
Throughout the tour, we will discover the street art works that fill the city.
Additionally, I will share recommendations for restaurants, cafes, and concerts so you can continue enjoying the city after the tour.
The tour will open your eyes so you can discover for yourself the beauty and charm of this incredible city.
