Campsite Toulouse

Pale pink, pinkish red, vivid orange etc. The bricks used to build many of the city centre buildings have a seemingly infinite palette of colours. Look upwards and roam the streets admiring the shimmering colours of the building façades before taking a break in front of the Capitole. Do you like architecture? Prepare to be amazed: the city of Toulouse has the largest number of carillon bells and Renaissance-style townhouses in France.

A holiday in Toulouse without tasting the region’s most celebrated dishes? Unthinkable! Toulouse’s finest restaurants await you, whether you’re travelling with your children or a group of friends. Kick off the celebrations with the delicately scented Noir de Bigorre ham, followed by a slice of goose foie gras or a plate of “cassoulet” (duck casserole). When it comes to desserts, the “Fenetra,” a candied lemon cake enjoyed by the Romans, will delight young and old taste buds alike.

There are lots of possible visits and excursions less than an hour’s drive from Toulouse. You can stop off at the lac de Saint-Ferréol, the reservoir that supplies water to the Canal du Midi. The site, nestled in the foothills of the Montagne Noire, is also home to a museum which retraces the history of this famous canal. You can also visit Moissac, famous for its Romanesque-style monuments or the Episcopal City of Albi, classified as a UNESCO world heritage site. Great discoveries in store!
