Maison à corondages, rue Croix Baragnon
by Klod5
Dans le centre historique de la ville, les petites rues datent du moyen âge. On peut alors imaginer à quoi ressemblait la ville à cette époque. La rue Croix-Baragnon, qui joint la rue du Languedoc à la place St.-Etienne, est l'une de ces rues anciennes, où l'on peut voir en très bon état parmi les plus anciennes maisons de la ville.
In the historic center of the city, the small streets date middle age. One can imagine then to what resembled the city at this time. The Rue Croix Baragnon, that joins the Rue du Languedoc to the Place St. Etienne, is one of these old streets, where one can see in very good state among the most former houses of the city. Exemple, cette maison à corondages, qui fait l'angle d'une rue, et qui illustre bien l'habitat du XVIe siècle dans la région toulousaine.
Example, this half-timbered house, that makes the angle of a street, and that illustrates the habitat of the XVIth well century in the Toulouse's region.

Bodega Bodega
by s_odyssey about Bodega Bodega
Payment is based on a Casino system made of chips, minimum amount is 40 frs (6-7 euros). If you want a feel of the music the southern french are listening to, this is the place! Order a bottle if you wander in as a group, you will find it much cheaper. At the end of the night, keep the leftover chips for the next time you are in the area! Do not eat there, there are many more places you could head for a better feed. Semi-Casual, whatever you feel comfortable in, people do tend to dress up.
And then there's the pottery...

I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of antiquities. I find ancient history fascinating, and love to visit museums that track the Greek colonization, Phoenician settlements, pre-Indo European populations and the Roman Empire, but when it comes down to pottery and utensils, I get a bit restless. So if you get a bad feeling from my review of the St. Raymond Musée des Antiquités, keep that caveat in mind and maybe take my two-cents with a grain of salt. The museum is not huge, and to be fair it provides quite a lot of interesting material on the early settlement of Toulouse, as well as Greek and Roman history. There are also temporary exhibits (the one when I was there was on stone carving in Aquitainia) and tombs in the basement. The thing is that, while some of the initial information in the stone carving exhibit was interesting, by the time I got to the first floor and its collection of pottery, I was really beginning to wonder if this was worth the admission. The second floor, however, makes up for it with a large number of bas-reliefs and sculptures of Greek mythology and famous Greeks.
