About this ebook

Toulouse is a city that wears one color completely — warm pink terracotta brick, softening and glowing through every hour of the day. This guide walks you from the vast Place du Capitole into the largest Romanesque church in Europe, along the shaded seventeenth-century engineering marvel of the Canal du Midi, and out to a space museum that reveals this city's real, ongoing identity as the beating heart of European aerospace, home to Airbus and the pioneering Aéropostale airmail service. You'll eat cassoulet thick enough to argue about and candied violets delicate enough to forget you're in the same city, wander the palm-vaulted cloister of the Jacobins, and take day trips out to Toulouse-Lautrec's stark, painted hometown of Albi and the impossibly complete fortress silhouette of Carcassonne.


Written in immersive second person, this is not a checklist of sights but an invitation to feel a city defined, more consistently than any other, by a single warm and endlessly shifting color.
