What to do and see in Toulouse, Occitanie: The Best Tours

January 29, 2022 Etsuko Causey

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.

dear all travellers, its me again! another day another review. Me and judith decided after this crazy year we have all had that it was time for a spiritual break. We booked our tour in hope of gaining a stronger connection to the Lord. We arrived bang on time to find robertto no where in sight so we had a panic. It must have been at least an hour and robertto finally turns up with no apology or sympathy he just rocked up with his dora the explorer backpack, walking boots and quater length walking shorts in the colour beige. We began our pilgrimage with another couple named margaret and jonathan who were both gorgeous and made us chuckle quite a few times, although jonathan was slightly cheeky and did try to have little flirt with my wife judith ( i was unimpressed) It was lets say about 2 hours into the walk we were going over some difficult and challenging walking conditions and i fell even though i had my new mountain warehouse walking boots i still managed to fall (complaint has been forwaded to mountain warehouse ) i looked to my left and noticed robertto had a cheeky little smirk on his face i was already disappointed with him but this just tipped me over the edge (literally) and even worse it was the gorgeous jonathan who struggled to pick i knew myself that i shouldn't have had that extra croissant this morning. Overall, i do wish to visit again and maybe making to the destination this time as due to severe injury i couldn't complete my pilgrimage. Auvoir!

The principle is simple: located in the heart of the pink city, in the center of Toulouse, Here We Golf room offers golf simulators with retransmission of the trajectory of the ball on giant screen. Specifically, the player uses real clubs and real balls, makes his golf shot and the ball sinks into a specialized screen. The simulator then calculates a lot of data and instantly retransmits the trajectory of the bullet by video projection. The immersion is total. Whether you are an experienced golfer or a perfect novice, three simulation stations are waiting for you! Loan of equipment is free, but you can bring your own equipment to perfect your swing. You want to discover golf with friends? Do you want to change the usual Escape Game or Karting outings? An original experience where everyone goes back happy!

I highly recommend Jessica’s French Cheese 101 on-line workshop. Jessica’s enthusiasm is contagious and her knowledge of all that makes cheese “French” (ie delectable) is extraordinary ! The seminar was delightful & delicious!

Being drawn is a unique and rich experience. Naked, draped or even dressed, whatever you want! It's a moment for yourself. You just need to be comfortable with the idea of being drawn, the rest is done by itself. It is the model who chooses the pose (freely or following some advice), if it suits, we move on to the drawing. Several drawing options are available: choice of color (pencil, sangine, etc.) or size (50x65cm or smaller).
