With your buy-back rental vehicle in Toulouse, plan an escape that matches your taste. With 2,000 years of history, it is the perfect place to visit museums: Saint-Raymond Museum, Hôtel d'Assézat, Georges Labit Museum and many more.
The Toulouse historic centre is about 10 km from your delivery centre. Take the opportunity to see St. Sernin Basilica, the Jacobin Church & monastery, the Capitole and its steps as well as St. Steven’s Cathedral (cathédrale Saint-Étienne). Cross the Pont-Neuf Bridge and take a few photos from the Quai de la Daurade or Quai de Tounis streets. Take a break along the Brienne Canal and go for a walk or have a picnic.
You will notice that certain street names are written directly on the buildings. It is a system that dates back to the 19th century. The yellow plaques run parallel to the Garonne River with even numbers on the right. The grey plaques run perpendicular to the river and their numbers ascend from the river up. Now you know a little secret that many Toulousains do not. Isn’t that interesting?
A word of advice: As with most touristic cities, it is preferable to visit popular sites on weekdays to avoid the weekend crowds.
