About Toulouse

Toulouse is the Pink City of south-west France, built of rose-red brick, with a great Romanesque basilica, a canal and a long aerospace history.

Toulouse earns its nickname, la ville rose, from the warm brick of its buildings, which glows in the evening light along the Garonne. The Basilica of Saint-Sernin, a Romanesque church begun in the eleventh century and a stage on the pilgrim road to Santiago, is one of the largest surviving Romanesque churches in Europe. The Capitole, the city hall, faces a broad square lined with cafés, and the Jacobins convent has a famous column that fans out like a palm tree.

Top-ranked sights in Toulouse: St. Sernin Basilica (Basilique Saint-Sernin) , Toulouse Cathedral (Cathedrale St-Etienne), Place du Capitole.
