Toulouse: Free Tour of the Pink City Centre

The tour begins at Toulouse's Capitole, the very heart of the city. In this famous square, you'll discover the history of this emblematic building and the unique atmosphere of this central location, which has been the hub of Toulouse's political and cultural life for centuries.

We'll continue on to the Basilique Saint-Sernin, a major masterpiece of Romanesque art and a must-see stop on the road to Santiago de Compostela. Admire its remarkable architecture and understand the importance of this sanctuary in the region's religious and cultural history.
The tour continues at the Jacobins Convent, a jewel of Southern Gothic architecture. Inside, the impressive "palm tree" column illustrates the boldness and ingenuity of medieval builders.
We'll then take time to stroll along the Garonne, whose banks offer magnificent views over the city.
The tour concludes at the elegant Hôtel d'Assézat, a splendid Renaissance townhouse. This monument bears witness to the golden age of woad cultivation, when Toulouse prospered thanks to the trade in this dye plant.

The tour lasts 2 hours

Guiding since 2026
(Français ci-dessous) Octarina is a company that has had a tour guide on its books for over twenty years. He has been fortunate enough to work in such inspiring places as the Château de Foix in Ariège, the bastide town of Cordes-sur-Ciel in the Tarn, the Gouffre de Padirac in the Lot, and the Irish Whiskey Museum in Dublin. These experiences have fuelled his passion for sharing knowledge and the joy of recounting the history of these places as much as bringing them to life. A lover of Occitanie, his adopted home, and deeply curious about nature, he enjoys sharing far more than just dates or facts: he loves conveying the atmosphere of a town, its transformations, its secrets and the little stories that shed light on the bigger picture. His tours take place in small groups, in a friendly atmosphere where conversation is encouraged. He pays particular attention to the pace, the clarity of his explanations and the quality of the experience. - Octarina est une compagnie recelant en son sein un guide touristique depuis plus de vingt ans. Il a eu la chance d’exercer son métier dans des lieux aussi inspirants que le Château de Foix en Ariège, la bastide de Cordes-sur-Ciel dans le Tarn, le Gouffre de Padirac dans le Lot, ainsi qu’au Irish Whiskey Museum à Dublin. Ces expériences ont nourri sa passion pour la transmission et le plaisir de raconter les lieux autant que de les faire vivre. Amoureux de l'Occitanie, sa terre d'adoption, et profondément curieux de la nature, il aime partager bien plus que des dates ou des faits : il aime transmettre l’atmosphère d’une ville, ses métamorphoses, ses secrets et les petites histoires qui éclairent la grande. Ses visites se déroulent en petits groupes, dans un esprit convivial, où l’échange a toute sa place. Il veille particulièrement au rythme, à la clarté des explications et à la qualité de l’expérience vécue.
