Ah Toulouse... Its beautiful Garonne, its Capitole and its beautiful brick facades... All year long, the Pink City attracts millions of visitors in search of the good mood of the Southwest. And maybe you are part of it! Luckily, le Bonbon is always here to show you the best tips, all over France. We have selected our 3 favorite spots for you to enjoy the city like a true Toulousain.

Our favorite spots in Toulouse

Les Abattoirs, for a beautiful cultural outing

Head to the very cool neighborhood of Saint-Cyprien! Here, since 2000, the former slaughterhouses of Toulouse have been home to nearly 4000 m2 of modern and contemporary art museum. A chance to discover the most beautiful collections (permanent or temporary) of 20th and 21st century art, all in an architecture worthy of the Pink City. And to get there, what could be better than crossing the Garonne via the Saint-Pierre bridge, also known as the most beautiful walk in the city.

Les Abattoirs
76, allée Charles-de-Fitte – Toulouse
Open from Wednesday to Sunday from 12pm to 6pm

Le Jardin des Plantes, for a bucolic break

It is the oldest garden in Toulouse, but above all, one of the most pleasant in the city. Well arranged and highly bucolic, at the Jardin des Plantes you can come admire the little ducks, the swans (watch out for your calves), the geese, and even the peacocks. Don't hesitate to take your famous checkered tablecloth with you, because here, picnicking is a tradition thanks to all the shady spots.

Jardin des Plantes
31, allée Jules Guesde - Toulouse
Open every day from 8am to 8pm


La Cité de l’Espace, for all science enthusiasts

This scientific theme park focused on space and space exploration is a must-see in Toulouse. Bring along a little brother, little cousin, or any cute kid from your circle, because it's a great place for children. But the full-scale reproduction of the Ariane 5 rocket is a must-see and truly impressive when you're standing at its feet.

Cité de l’Espace
Avenue Jean Gonord – Toulouse
Open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm (until 6pm on weekends)
