Toulouse is the capital of the Occitanie region and the worthy representative of local gastronomy. Here, the large tables give pride of place to charcuterie, poultry, lamb and veal.
But let us introduce you to 100% Toulouse specialties, sometimes less known to the general public, local products that will give your stay a real southwestern accent.
To see and taste:
- Capitol
It is the emblematic building of the Pink City: facing the Place du Capitole since the 18th century, it houses both the town hall and the Théâtre du Capitole. You cross it by the Cour Henri-Iv, behind the central gate.
Upstairs there are a number of ceremonial rooms, including the superb Salle des Illustres, a vast hall of mirrors whose paintings retrace the history of Toulouse.
- Cassoulet
Eating a Toulouse cassoulet is an essential step when discovering the city. It is present on the menu of many restaurants. Its recipe varies from one cook to another, but it inevitably consists of tasty beans, confit of duck and Toulouse sausage.
A typical dish from the pink city, Toulouse cassoulet is made up of essentials and ingredients that vary depending on the cook. There is of course pork (loin, shank, sausage) but also duck confit, bacon, country sausage, collar and mutton breast. There are also variants with confit and goose fat.
As for white beans, these are regional varieties, such as Tarbes beans, whose grain is long, which are fleshy and melting, with thin skin so that they soak up other flavors. The secret to the success of this regional dish lies in the cooking: Toulouse cassoulet is a dish that must be simmered for a long time, and it is eaten au gratin.
- The Saint-Sernin basilica
This 11th century brick and stone basilica is nothing less than one of the greatest Romanesque buildings in the West! Former stage of the way to Compostela, it is listed as such in the heritage of Unesco. In 2018, it is the 20th anniversary of the registration of the Ways of Santiago de Compostela in France as a Unesco World Heritage Site.
Under its octagonal bell tower, you will discover a huge vaulted nave and a crypt where many relics remain. Among them, those of Saint Sernin, martyr bishop of the 3rd century to whom the basilica owes its name.
- The Canal du Midi
Several canals cross the town: the Canal du Midi, the Canal de Brienne and the Canal Lateral à la Garonne. Listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site, the Canal du Midi connects Toulouse to the Mediterranean Sea. Built under the reign of Louis Xiv by Pierre-Paul Riquet and completed in the 19th century by the canal lateral to the Garonne to navigate towards the Atlantic, this waterway can be explored on foot or by bicycle, or even discovered by boat.
In summer, enjoy the freshness of their paths of plane trees and their green and calm waters.
- The Jacobin convent
The remarkable element that will amaze visitors is the unique palm-shaped arch. The church, with its double nave with painted decoration and its superb stained glass windows, also houses the relics of Saint Thomas Aquinas. As for the cloister of the convent, an island of tranquility in the city, it regularly hosts concerts and exhibitions.
A jewel of southern Gothic art, this complex was founded in the 13th and 14th centuries by the Dominican order.
- The banks of the Garonne
One of the most beautiful panoramas of the city with the view of the Pont Neuf, the Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Jacques, the dome of La Grave, and the river, the Garonne.
Sunny walks or idleness: in the heart of the city, you can enjoy the riverside, especially on the Henri-Martin promenade and the Place de la Daurade.
