Tourism

Tolosa is said in Occitan, the local language. Toulouse, dear to Nougaro, is the largest city in the southwest and is considered the Capital of Occitania. After Paris, Marseille and Lyon, the city of Toulouse is the 4th most populated city in France.

The Pink City

Toulouse owes its nickname Ville Rose (pronounced avè the accent) to its very specific architecture, the terracotta brick whose colour is close to pink. In Toulouse, terracotta brick has been the traditional material since Roman times. Indeed, all along the Garonne, the river that marries Toulouse, there is a clay bed that once prevented stone from being worked. By firing the clay, the brick is similar to pink because of its composition.

The Great Monuments

The Capitol, the Basilica of Saint-Sernin, the quays of the Garonne, the Pont neuf, the Canal du Midi... Toulouse's monuments are numerous and allow you to reach back into the city's history. Also, while strolling through the alleys of Toulouse, you will admire the architecture of more than 70 private hotels dating, for some, from the Renaissance.

A Sporting City

The region but especially the city of Toulouse is a dream place for all fans of sporting emotions. In fact, the city has been awarded twice in recent years asthe most sporting city in France by the daily newspaper L'Équipe.

The city is also a great place to visit.
