Basilique Saint-Sernin

Reviewed By KateJourney - Exeter, Canada

When we decided to explore Toulouse, we headed directly to the Musee d'Archaeologie ...and found it right beside the basilica...so after the museum we toured it as well. A lovely church with and interesting crypt with reliquaries...always great to immerse in local history.

This place is temporarily closed.

This is the huge museum in the center of the city. With very few other visitors, I enjoyed myself watching things inside slowly.

Theatre du Capitole

The main hall on the second floor is of unparelleled beauty in terms of design and paintings as well as pictures on the walls. Great history is obvious!

Church of Les Jacobins

Reviewed By kathrynh992 - Sonoma, United States

I visited this historic ( it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the body of St. Thomas Aquinas has been there since 1369) and beautiful church during a Sunday mass. This is an active church with a dedicated congregation. I, along with other visitors, were quiet and respectful of the mass. It was acceptable to very quietly walk the inside perimeter and to unobtrusively take photos (make sure your camera or smart phone is set so that the “click” is silent - the clicking sound when a photo is taken is disruptive). It is difficult to describe the beauty and serenity of this space - the arches, windows, altars, parishioners, and stonework of the structure itself. This is a must-see place.

Garonne

Reviewed By 18philippeb - Toulouse, France

The Garonne river in Toulouse offers nice walks along the banks with amazing views on brick-made historical buildings both at night and during daytime. It’s also an opportunity to learn a lot about the history of the city that was organized around the river.

Museum of natural History

Reviewed By 18philippeb - Toulouse, France

As always, this Museum of Natural History offers a wonderful experience both for adults, teenagers and kids. Following a thorough renovation a couple of years ago, this one is particularly interesting. You learn a lot about the Earth and Universe, plants and animals. It’s educative and a lot of fun. Moreover most of temporary exhibitions are very interesting as “Extinctions”, a great way back in history to understand how why and how species disappeared in the past or may disappear in the future.

Musee Saint-Raymond

The museum Saint-Raymond, preserves and enhances an archaeological site that is among the largest in France.Push its doors to discover the Roman town of Tolosa, the sculptures of the villa Chiragan, the remains of a necropolis from late antiquity.

Reviewed By 18philippeb - Toulouse, France

Close to Saint-Sernin Basilica you’ll notice this brick-built medieval building. The collection organized on three floors shows many sarcophagus in the basement from the antiquity to the Christian Era. The first floor is fully dedicated to the artefacts found in a villae from Martres-Tolosane (50 km South of Toulouse) and the second floor gives an overview of pre-Roman and Roman period, until the establishment of the Wisigoth kingdom. This kingdom (418-507) is the topic of a wonderful temporary exhibition. 8€ for the exhibition and the permanent collection.
