good reasons for
visiting Toulouse
1. The capital of Occitanie
A short hop from the Pyrenees and
the Mediterranean, Toulouse is ideally
situated in the South-West of France.
2. Truly colourful
This is a city of colour, with its façades
of pink brick, its emblematic flower,

the violet, the blue of the local pastel…
3. A welcoming city
Toulouse is as warm as its weather:
conviviality and art de vivre are
on the menu.
4. A rich heritage
Bursting with 2000 years of history,
the Ville Rose is home to three UNESCO
World Heritage sites, such as the famous
Canal du Midi.
5. Festive all year round
Toulouse is a festive and dynamic city
that is synonymous with the “fiesta”
and with lively summer evenings!
Convivial Accessible
6. The pleasures of the table
Regional wines and produce take pride
of place: bon viveurs will love
the famous cassoulet and the fine wines
of the South-West.
7. Nature and walks
The city’s 160 parks and gardens extend
an invitation to visitors to relax and
enjoy a stroll, as do the banks of the
River Garonne and the Canal du Midi.
8. Air and space
From the Aeroscopia Museum
to the Cité de l’Espace, Toulouse
is a must-visit destination for lovers
of aeronautics and space exploration.
9. A sporty city
Toulouse is also sporty: the focus is on
rugby with Stade Toulousain, the local
team that has been champion of France
and of Europe many times!
10. A unique offer
The Ville Rose boasts a unique tourism
offer: museums that touch on every
era, industrial sites that have been
