Travel back in time and take a journey through history on our Free Walking Tour of Toulouse. You'll be accompanied by an expert guide as you explore this French city's most iconic monuments.
Free Walking Tour of Toulouse
Immerse yourself in the history, culture and architecture of the French city of Toulouse by exploring its elegant streets and squares with an English-speaking guide. You'll meet your guide at 10 am in the historic Place Saint-Sernin and set off on a 2-hour 30-minute journey through Toulouse's past.
The first stop on our tour will be the Place du Capitole, which is a key hub in the city. As we stroll through this iconic location, we'll come to the historic Rue Saint Rome shopping street.
Our next stop will be the magnificent Hôtel d'Assézat, a 16th-century Renaissance palace that now houses an art gallery. Afterwards, we'll stroll down to the banks of the Garonne River to take in the views of the famous Pont Neuf, or New Bridge, which - despite its name- is almost 500 years old.
The free walking tour will then take us to the Daurade and the Basilique. As we admire these iconic buildings, we'll continue discussing Toulouse's history and the fascinating periods that this city has witnessed. From the Medieval period to The Inquisition and The Canal du Midi, this city has seen it all!
As we wander alongside the river, we'll soon arrive at the enormous Church of the Jacobins, a symbolic building whose incredible 13th-century vaulted ceiling has been named "The Palm Tree" for its unique design.
We'll then make our way down the Rue de Taur until we find ourselves back in front of the Basilica of Saint-Sernin, which is the largest Romanesque church in Europe. Before saying goodbye to your friendly guide, make sure you ask them for their top tips on where to eat and what to do in Toulouse!
