9 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.

Explore Toulouse's surroundings by going to Gouffre de Padirac (in Padirac), Lacave (Grotte des Carbonnieres & Prehisto Dino Parc) and Carcassonne Center (Musee De L'ecole, Eglise Saint-Nazaire, &more). There's much more to do: don't miss a visit to Le Capitole, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Sanctuaires Notre-Dame de Lourdes, admire the masterpieces at Musee des Augustins, and test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms.
