The southern France city of Toulouse is a study in contrasts. Visit the Academie des Jeux Floraux, the oldest literary society in the western world, as well as the Galerie du Chateau d'eau, the world's first photography museum. Stroll the Garonne, before visiting France's most beautiful pipe organ at the Saint-Sernin Basilica. Yet for all its medieval architecture, Toulouse is a modern city, home to the European aerospace industry, as well as bars and restaurants in bustling Place du Capitole.

This was definitely our favorite spot to be in all of Toulouse! The Capitole building, the surrounding buildings, all the cute little cafes and restaurants, we just had a blast there. This is an absolute must do while in Toulouse!

This is the oldest fountain in Toulouse, built in the middle of the 16th century. By the way, it was the first public fountain in town. It’s interesting to notice the four “Marmousets” throwing the water trough fish heads in the upper basin.

Another free attraction, this is a very interesting visit for all ages who are looking to expend their knowledge of energy and how things operate. Plenty of exhibits that have some working parts, with the information in English as well as French.

With its double tree lined pathways punctuated by picturesque bridges and interesting architecture on the way agree with previous commentary that nicer than the canal du midi. Joined it half way after stopping briefly at the Japanese garden. Walked south towards the opening of the Garonne which took about 20 minutes and thought it stunning and tranquil and truly a respite from the boiling sun. A definite must if visiting Toulouse and if the weather is good and a breather from the plethora of shops churches and museums.
