🌸🎨 Toulouse: The Pink City with a Soulful Southern Charm

#mediterranean

Toulouse, affectionately known as La Ville Rose (The Pink City), enchants with its sun-warmed terracotta buildings, riverside ambiance, and a laid-back energy that’s uniquely southern French. Strolling through the Capitole Square, you’ll find a mix of classical architecture, bustling cafés, and vibrant street performers.

The Garonne River and Canal du Midi invite lazy bike rides or boat tours, while the Basilique Saint-Sernin, one of Europe’s largest Romanesque churches, leaves a lasting impression with its soaring arches and serene aura. Toulouse also pulses with innovation, being the hub of the European aerospace industry.

📍 Location: Occitanie, Southwestern France
🕒 Best time to visit: April to June or September to October
💡 Tips:
• Don’t miss the Marché Victor Hugo for gourmet local eats.
• Visit the Cité de l’Espace if you’re into space exploration.
• Try cassoulet — the hearty regional dish, best enjoyed in a traditional bistro.
