10 days in Toulouse Itinerary

On the Garonne River, Toulouse is on the site of an ancient Roman settlement, and even today, many of the smaller streets follow their Roman counterparts, while many of the red brick buildings are built in a pseudo-Roman style.

Change things up with these side-trips from Toulouse: Cathedrale Sainte-Cecile (in Albi), Carcassonne Center (Lac de Cavayere, Cité de Carcassonne, &more) and Parc de la Prehistoire (in Tarascon-sur-Ariege). Fill the 21st (Thu) with science at Cite de l'espace. The adventure continues: make a trip to Le Capitole, take in the spiritual surroundings of Church of Les Jacobins, admire the masterpieces at Musee des Augustins, and pause for some serene contemplation at Sanctuaires Notre-Dame de Lourdes.
