Itinerary

1

Eglise Notre-dame Du Taur Toulouse

Step inside the church built where the rope snapped and find a fourteenth-century family tree painted for people who couldn't read.

2

Marche Victor Hugo Toulouse

Taste the coiled sausage that anchors Toulouse's most fought-over dish — and a candied flower a queen couldn't stop eating.

3

Place Saint-Georges

Sit in the café square where a sixty-four-year-old linen merchant was broken on the wheel — and Voltaire picked up his pen.

4

Cathedrale Saint-Etienne

Compare two churches awkwardly fused together and spot why locals call this the "unfinished cathedral."

5

Musee Des Augustins Toulouse

Hear how one archaeologist's most productive lie rescued a masterpiece across town from the wrecking ball.

6

Pont Neuf

Cross the oldest surviving bridge in Toulouse and learn why it alone stood when floodwaters rose eight metres in a single night.
