    La place Saint-Georges est un des lieux les plus vivants de la ville. Ici autrefois on procédait à certaines exécutions. Désormais, les tables et les chaises des bars et des restaurants ont fait place au piloris et à la roue. Il est possible de prendre toute la mesure de la ville, simplement, le temps d'un repas sur l'une des plus belles places entourée de maisons des XV ; XVI et XVII ème siècles.

    The place St.-Georges is one of the most living places of the city. Here one proceeded once to some executions. Henceforth, the tables and the chairs of the bars and restaurants made place to the pillories and to the wheel. It is possible to take the whole measure of the city, merely, the time of one meal out of one most beautiful places surrounded with houses of the XV XVI and XVII th centuries.

    Square Wilson
    by Klod5
    Voilà une autre jardin central de Toulouse. La place Wilson est circulaire. En son centre, le square est un lieu de fraîcheur et les bancs (ombragés), permettent un moment de repos.
    Au centre, le monument à la mémoire de Goudouli, avec une fontaine, réjouit les enfants et les photographes.
    Dans le cadre de l'aménagement du centre historique et commerçant de la ville, il est prévu de rendre cet espace entièrement piéton (2006).

    There is another central garden of Toulouse. The Wilson place is circular. In its center, the square is a place of freshness and the benches (shady), permit one moment of rest.
    To the center, the monument to the memory of Goudouli, with a fountain, rejoices the children and the photographers.
    In the setting of the planning of the historic and commercial center of the city, it is foreseen to return entirely this space pedestrian (2006).

    Place Wilson, statue of Pierre Goudouli, poet Toulousian...we found this nice little urban park, and ate breakfast here. There are a number of little food-shops nearby, as well as a number of nice cafes surrounding the square (OK, it's an oval). We never did learn more about Pierre, though clearly he was held in high regard.

    Toulouse seemed to have a lot of these. Unfortunatly, I now cannot remember much about the statue subject. Perhaps some VT'er out there will help me. I think it is Victor Hugo (but am not sure)

    Thanks

    Place Jean-Jaurès greets you as you leave the Tourist Information centre and head towards Rue d'Alsace-Lorraine. The park, which has various playground pieces and is almost always full of shrieking children, is dedicated to the French political thinker and Socialist Jean Jaurès. Born in 1889, Jaurès came from Tarn, which is not far from Toulouse, and he gradually helped to form modern French political thought. There is a large memorial to him in the Place, engraved with the words "Père de la Paix". This commemorates his embrace of pacifism in the lead-up to the First World War (like so many Socialists and Communists). His belief in pacifism ultimately cost him his life, as he was assassinated in August 1914 days before the commencement of hostilities, by a member of the Friends of Alsace-Lorraine. Today, the park also contains a monument to Charles de Gaulle, and its most notable aspect is the constant gaggle of Roma who hang out there and beg for money.

    The Square of the Closed Wells or La Place des Puits Clos is essentially just another part of the old city of Toulouse that has been converted into upscale shops and designer boutiques. Nevertheless, this is still a fairly interesting square to visit, as, in addition to the shops and boutiques, there are also plenty of examples of the rich artistic heritage of the city. For example, the beautiful fountain in the centre of the square, and the neo-Classical fountain (that was turned off) on one of the sides of the square. A great place to take pictures and relax. There is also a gourmet sweets shop that sells delicious ice cream in the Square - definitely try the mulberry flavour!
