Toulouse Heritage Trail

This trail explores Toulouse's architectural evolution, from the Romanesque grandeur of the UNESCO-listed Basilica of Saint-Sernin to the Renaissance elegance of the Hôtel d'Assézat. The route highlights the city's unique pink brick construction, visible in the monumental facade of the Capitole and the 16th-century Pont Neuf. Key stops include the Gothic Saint-Étienne Cathedral and the Musée des Augustins, a fine arts museum housed in a former convent, alongside several historic private mansions and a 19th-century water tower.
