Strolling through the pretty streets of Toulouse
You know it yourself, the charm of Toulouse also lies in its streets with beautiful colors! We have carefully prepared a one-hour stroll through the prettiest streets and with the most beautiful viewpoints for you! Of course, you can stop wherever your instinct leads you, and you may make wonderful discoveries! And don't forget, it's often when we get lost that we have the best surprises! This walk starting from the Capitole takes you through the lovely Place Saint Georges, the Antiques and Carmes district, the Pont Neuf, Saint Cyprien, and the quai de la Daurade. Enjoy!
Cruising along the Garonne river and the Canal du Midi (summer only)

To enjoy a cassoulet
La Cave au Cassoulet, is THE restaurant where you can bring your friends to taste the real cassoulet, the specialty of Toulouse!

Plus, at Pompon sur la Garonne, you'll eat in a Toulouse-style cellar, made of pretty pink bricks! Remember to make a reservation ;)

Snacking on delicious South West tapas
Exploring a neighborhood with stunning facades that only Toulouse can boast, soaking up the Toulouse atmosphere while enjoying some tasty South West tapas? Oh yeah! Don't hesitate to bring your friends to the terrace of Carbet d'Oc in Carmes. A sure bet in terms of service/quality/price! We recommend the generously filled tapas assortment for 55 euros to savor the best accompanied by a nice glass of Tariquet wine! If you stop by for lunch, know that the set menus (including some delicious duck breast, for example) are around 11 euros! Why miss out?

Experience the warm festive atmosphere of the South
We'll let you take your friends on a tour of your favorite bars, and we'll offer you an all-inclusive night. After the crazy day, you must be exhausted, and a place where you just have to put your feet up (or dance to Bomboléioo Bomboléiaa) to eat well and party might do you a world of good! For that, we selected 2 restaurants with ambiance, and the winners are... La Tantina de Burgos and le Bourriquitto Loco! We can't decide between the two. What we love are the good tapas, the nostalgic songs that remind you of your teenage years, their magical power that makes you unable to resist dancing on the table.Mix and mingle with the crowd. La Tantina has the advantage of having a larger and taller room, while Bourriquito is more central. It's up to you to choose, we can't decide!
La Tantina de Burgos
27 Avenue de la Garonnette, Toulouse

Marvel at the Salle des Illustres at the Capitole
A must-see central square in Toulouse, the Capitole also hides treasures inside! The small courtyard is worth a visit itself with its beautiful architecture. Don't forget to look up! Then, head to the Salle des Illustres, yes you can, and it's free! You will see stunning rooms decorated with lovely impressionist paintings depicting life in old Toulouse! Just a heads up, avoid going on a Saturday, you might come face to face with ten brides and their guests, and most likely be denied entry.
