Enterrée dans le tombeau des Lancefoc aux Augustins en 1607, elle a été mise au nombre des quatre merveilles toulousaines par le distique de Rougier.

Les repas de quartier
by Klod5
L'objectif est simple : faire se rencontrer des gens de tous horizons sur le critère du voisinage avec comme seule ambition leur rassemblement, sans aucun préjugé sur la teneur des discussions, sans mot d'ordre.
Chacun amène un plat à partager, discute et rencontre des gens. On pourrait même affirmer que c'est pour cette raison le seul lieu d'apprentissage de l'esprit d'ouverture qui efface toutes les différences (âges, origine, classe sociale).
The objective is simple: to make meet of people of all horizons on the criteria of the neighborhood with as only ambition their gathering, without no prejudice on the content of the discussions, without word of order.
Each brings a dish to share, discuss and meeting of people. One could even affirm that it is for this reason the only place of training of the opening mind that erases all differences (ages, origin, social class).

The "Incomplete" Cathedral (1)
by hquittner
In 1080, while he was building St. Sernin, the Archbishop of Toulouse started on a Cathedral in which to hold Mass for his flock. St.-Etienne was built on the ruins of a previous church starting at the west end. It struggled and in 1211 its piers were removed and a new approach instituted (1218) as befitted the experimentation of the early Gothic period: an aisless nave, 19m wide and high, the widest in Europe at the time! This was achieved using the new light vaulting technics that were appearing.It was complete to the transepts by 1235. This method would be used in other Toulouse churches. In 1272 anothe Bishop cleared the ground beyond for a choir. It was twice the size of the nave (5 bays, an ambulatory and radiaiting chapels and a wooden roof ). Incomplete, due to lack of funds, the roof burned stimulating rebuilding. This led to vaulting , with heavy buttresses and hooking the two structures together by a transept.(relegating the common folk to the nave), with a fine entrance on the North side of the transept. To that door’s west is the military-looking 16C belfry (which now also boasts a 22-bell carillon). Beyond through the gate on the North, the large square of the church occupies much of the grounds where the removed ancillary monastery buildings once stood. Renovation, addition and misalignment seem to be the main themes of the Cathedral. Even the 13C Rose (originally in imitation of Notre Dame de Paris but later changed) is misaligned with the 15C west front door.
