Toulouse, an unmissable treat
June 25, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
One of my favourite cities in the south of France is Toulouse. The city centre is small enough and calm enough to be manageable, but big enough to always have something new to discover.
It always seems to be a modern active city, while keeping one eye carefully on the past and the important architectural heritage it contains.
Many of the buildings in Toulouse are constructed from the local bricks – small red bricks, left ‘on show’ (ie not covered over with mortar). Very attractive it is too, and distinctive to Toulouse and a few other towns in the region.
