 16 Reviews  Magnificent pillars. If the outside of the church of the Jacobins, except for the bell tower, does not arouse the aesthetic enthusiasm, the inside with its magnificent pillars in the form of palm trees deserves the visit. The pillar with its 22 nervures which supports the polygonal choir is... 

 17 Reviews  This is a very nice garden I discovered while walking downtown to the Musée Georges Labit. Trees, flowers, fountains operating at full stream and thereby masking the noise of traffic around the roundabout, make a nice stop. Footbridges are leading to the Royal Garden, or to the large Botanic Garden.... 

 22 Reviews  the place to be in Toulouse, all major events takes place here and where the people express themselves. The plaza is beautifully architecturally,and plenty of restos and stores all around this area. See the donjon just by the passage behind and the salles des illustres. There is a nice theater too... 

 19 Reviews  one of the oldest symbols and a great one in the pink city of Toulouse, the visit is free and only 2€ for the crypt treasury name after the martyr killed in 250AD, who evangelise the city and area. He was carried along the rue du Taur that takes you to the place du Capitole and basilica, being... 

 12 Reviews  The leaflet, in English, at the entrance explains: "The Cathedral of St-Stephen surprises and puzzles the visitor whether one looks at it from inside or from outside, since it is the result of a juxtaposition of buildings that have been either amputed or left unfinished, built between the 11th and... 

 10 Reviews  It's a pretty common convention in Europe to name streets and squares after regions and cities in the country in which the streets are located, or after large cities elsewhere in Europe. This is just a convention, so you shouldn't expect there to be any special "Alsatian" flavour to Rue... 

 10 Reviews  In fact there are two small museums in the left wing of the Hotel Dieu Saint-Jacques: The Museum of the History of Medicine and the Museum of Medical Instruments of the Hospitals of Toulouse. To get from one to another just cross the hall. A total of 4 rooms on the history of medicine and pharmacy... 

 11 Reviews  When from the St-Pierre bridge one looks downstream the river, eyes and ears are drawn by the waterfalls at the height of the reach of the Brienne river. There stands the hydroelectric power station from 1889 which replaced the Bazacle mill. The power station (3000 Kw) is still active and can be... 

 8 Reviews  In my opinion this is the best museum in Toulouse. The works of art are presented in the sumptuous setting of the church and the chapter houses of the old Augustins convent. The visit begin with the beautiful cloister on which opens the room with the Romance sculptures and the collection of... 

 3 Reviews  We had no accommodation booked for our first night in Toulouse, and as it was too late to search afar without risking divorce, so we booked into a rather bland place that had one thing to recommend it: it was right by the central Victor-Hugo Market. An extraordinary smell woke me the next day. I...

It now houses a museum, the Foundation Bemberg, with a collection of paintings, bronzes and objects d'art from the... 

 3 Reviews  "L'Entrecôte" is the restaurant of a single dish. The waitress does not ask you what you want to eat but if you want the meat "rare" or "medium rare". Don't ask for "well done" this is an offence for the beef. The meat is good and cut in small strips in a flavourful sauce of butter and aromatic... 

 7 Reviews  If you're comming to Toulouse by plane, I would recomend taking the bus (Navette) to the centre ville (downtown). They have buses every 20 min and it's very cheap (3,90 euros) if compared to a taxi ride (20-35 euros). They have a small office outside the airport (on the sidewalk).....If the office...
