Asquali

A visit to the Explorarome is a “scentsational” experience… Follow experimented guides to explore a fragrant world of smells, scents, and aromas. A dedicated specialist, our Aroma Sculptor Michael MOISSEEFF, whose scientific research is dedicated to the olfactory sense and smell, invites you to rediscover the very neglected sense of smell… The guides tour starts with a stroll through a fascinating scent garden where several hundreds of aromatic plant species will titillate your nostrils and sharpen your sense of smell.In the lab you can observe how our aroma sculptor tames the volatility of aromatic matter to transform it into charming and surprising perfumes, scents, flavours or aromas. You will then be able to challenge your senses in our “Smell Museum”, where several olfactory exhibitions entice all to “play with their nose!”. Throughout the visit you will enjoy clear scientific explanations and will understand how everyday life can be enhanced by a keen sense of smell. Visits by reservation only – Please phone to book.

Le Capitole

Reviewed By SteveRainville99 - Orlando, United States

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!

Basilique Saint-Just

Reviewed By asho2014 - Saint-Gaudens, France

As I have mentioned in other reviews, my husband and I are history and UNESCO World Heritage Site nerds. We learned that there were three such sites within 10 minutes of our local grocery store, we had to visit. It is worth the €4 per person admission price. The church is located in the very small village of Valcabrère. To borrow the description from the Haute Garonne's tourism site, "Near Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, this Roman 12th Century church is one of the most beautiful churches in the Pyrenees and was built with numerous reused Gallo-Roman sculpted elements. It has a beautiful sculpted door and a square bell tower from the 14th Century." The reused elements are evident throughout this very sparsely decorated church, allowing you to fully appreciate its history. Lighting is also minimal but adds to the experience. The church is on the Santiago-de-Compostela route. Visitors receive a laminated card with pictures of the points of interest and an audio guide pen that provides a description for each picture. Multiple languages are available. I would also recommend visiting Saint-Bertrand (5 minute drive) and the ruins at La Basilique Christien as part of your visit.

Espace EDF Bazacle

Reviewed By BlueBton - Wethersfield, United Kingdom

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.
