Itinerary
1
Stop 1
So here, there is nothing special to look at, but for the small history, the street you have on your right, Maletache street was the trigger point of the great fire of 1463 that devoured 3/4 of the city.
2
Stop 2
You get so used to the whole city being pink that it really surprises when you see a white facade! The Inn Bagis, also known as Clary or Daguin, is the only stone monument in the city.
3
Stop 3
Everyone loves St. George's Square! Always buzzing with its busy terraces in summer. But it doesn’t look like that, it has long been the terrible place of the scaffolding and its public executions.
4
Stop 4
You arrive in front of the Cathedral of Saint-Étienne, emblematic monument of Toulouse! Iconic yes, but also Atypical!!
5
Stop 5
Let us linger for a moment on the pretty Trinity Square with its beautiful fountain in the center. Built on the site of the former Trinitarian Convent, now defunct, the square is lined with café terraces and is one of the most pleasant in the city.
6
Stop 6
For your information, if you want a view overlooking Toulouse, know that you can climb to the top floor of Galeries Lafayette!
7
Stop 7
This place is perhaps the busiest in Toulouse for its metro, shops, cinemas, restaurants and shopping streets that surround it. This is President Wilson’s place.
8
Stop 8
At the back of the Capitol, you come face to face with a tower that seemed to come out of nowhere, and swearing a little with the rest of the architecture of the square. Overlooked by a Flemish-style belfry, it was built in 1525, to house gunpowder and municipal archives.
9
Stop 9
You are on the largest square in Toulouse which is also one of the largest event squares in France! It was removed from the buildings that occupied it when the present facade of the capitol was built in the middle of the 18th century.
10
Stop 10
Arriving on Place Saint-Pierre, you are in the festive heart of Toulouse student life! Be aware that the city has more than 130,000 students! Many bars and cafés are open late at night with their full terraces brimming with conviviality.
11
Stop 11
In centuries past, if you came from this side of the Garonne, you were on the wrong side of history. This district was indeed home to the sick, exiles, plague victims. As always, time has done its work and you are now on the side of the cosmopolitan district of Saint-Cyprien.
12
Stop 12
The Inn-Dieu Saint-Jacques you see on the left represents the most prestigious heritage of the city! Its history begins with that of the Priory of the Seabream, which, in 1130, erected a hospital foundation on the outskirts of Saint-Cyprien, left bank, and connected to the monastery by the Seabream bridge, now disappeared.
13
Stop 13
You are now on the Pont-Neuf, which paradoxically is the oldest bridge built over the Garonne! The unique arch you see in front of you, adjoining the Inn-Dieu, is all that remains of the old bridge from which we differentiate here.
14
Stop 14
Passing the Occitan center of traditional dances and music of Toulouse, you see a magnificent painted wall, representing a young masked woman, with long red hair, sitting among other masks very expressive, choosing the one that will best suit her.
15
Stop 15
You can imagine, what we came here to see is the colorful eardrum of Our Lady of Dalbade. This ceramic fresco dates from 1878. It is the work of the artist Gaston Virebent who was inspired by the coronation of the virgin of the Italian painter: Fra Angelico.
16
Stop 16
It’s time to walk with your nose up and relive the whole history of Toulouse! The arcade gallery, created in 1997 during the work on the Place du Capitole, offers 29 paintings and as many scenes retracing the history of the city.
17
Stop 17
Here you are in front of the Church of Our Lady of the Taur. It was built in the exact location where the body of the Martyr Saint Sernin was found. You have to go back to the third century.
18
Stop 18
You arrive in front of the famous Basilica of St. Serin. She imposes them and for good reason! It is no more or less than the largest Romanesque church in France! To get an idea, the nave stretches over the length of a football field and we could easily lock a 7-storey building under the vault!
19
Stop 19
You enter the heart of a monumental and literally spectacular ensemble! The Jacobins’ convent consists of a church, a cloister, a chapter house, a refectory and the chapel of Saint Antonine.
20
Stop 20
You may have heard of pastel, the blue plant that, once crushed, allows textiles to be dyed a beautiful blue-pastel color. A true blue gold, pastel prevailed during the Renaissance and dressed the kings of France.
21
Stop 21
The beautiful opulent facade you see here is that of the Toulouse School of Fine Arts. It is one of the first artistic institutions in the Occitanie region. The School succeeds the Royal Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, founded by Louis XV in 1750 and dissolved after the Revolution like all the Royal Academies of France.
22
Stop 22
You are in front of the Basilica of the Daurade with a beautiful panorama on the left bank of Toulouse. Proximity to the docks surely makes you think that the name Daurade must have something to do with fish!
23
Stop 23
From the docks, you can enjoy a beautiful panorama of the Saint-Cyprien district on the left bank of Toulouse. This is the perfect opportunity to capture the view.
