23 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.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Toulouse: Albi (Pont Vieux, Cathedrale Sainte-Cecile, &more), Gouffre de Padirac (in Padirac) and Rocamadour (Cite Religieuse & La Foret des Singes). Fill the 4th (Fri) with science at Cite de l'espace. There's still lots to do: make a trip to Le Capitole, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Sanctuaires Notre-Dame de Lourdes, take an in-depth tour of Parc de la Prehistoire, and explore the world behind art at Musee des Augustins.
