Toulouse

Get to know Toulouse

Regal buildings of pastel terracotta tiles give this French city its pink nickname. Despite the classical facades, Toulouse is also a modern French aerospace hub, as imposing churches like the Saint-Sernin Basilica highlight the city's depth of history and culture. But Toulouse’s time-transcendent renown comes from being the home of Classic French gastronomy, led by the hearty cassoulet, a sumptuous slow-cooked stew of succulent meats, sausage and haricot beans.
