Discover Toulouse

Toulouse, the vibrant "Rose City" due to its brick color, is the great capital that articulates the Via Tolosana, the Jacobean route which is why it bears its name. For the pilgrim, arriving in Toulouse is one of the most significant experiences on the road in France. Its main landmark is the Basilica of Saint-Sernin (Saint Saturninus), one of the largest and most majestic Romanesque churches in the world, declared a World Heritage Site. Built to accommodate the crowds of pilgrims, its gallery and relics make it a spiritual center of first order. The city, bathed by the Garonne River, offers an exceptional heritage, with the Capitole (city hall and theater), the Jacobin Convent, and a lively old town. As a great metropolis, it has all imaginable services. It is an ideal place for a day of rest that allows one to immerse oneself in history, art, and the lively life of the Occitan capital. In the Way of St. James, Toulouse is not just a stage, but a destination in itself, the heart that drives pilgrims towards the Pyrenees.
