Toulouse

Set off by Ouibus to discover the marvels of Toulouse. This city in the south-west of France is known as la ville rose, or the pink city, for the pretty pastel pink colour of its architecture. Wander to the Capitole and the square just next to it, before exploring the Basilica of Saint-Sernin. In the Vieux Toulouse Museum, you’ll learn all about the city’s history through works from private collections. Behind the Cathedral of Saint-Étienne, you may well unearth a rare gem at one of the antique shops, before heading off for some window shopping in the Saint-Georges shopping mall. If you’re craving a breath of fresh air, head to the Jardin des Plantes or the Japanese Garden, both of which welcome visitors into a relaxed and refreshing oasis of greenery. Fans of aeronautics won’t want to miss the chance to visit the Cité de l’Espace and the sites where the Airbus was designed. For a truly phenomenal view over Toulouse, jump aboard a Cessna 172 with a professional pilot! In the evening, take advantage of the strong Spanish influence from across the border, and enjoy some tapas accompanied by some of the best local wines. The city’s numerous restaurants will be waiting to enchant your senses with platters of local charcuterie and cheeses. To finish your trip on a high note, book tickets to a show or concert: there’s always something happening in Toulouse! You’ll leave Toulouse by Ouibus with some unforgettable memories.
