Toulouse is la ville rose, a city built in warm pink brick that shifts from terracotta at midday to rose-gold by late afternoon. Behind that soft glow sits a harder history: Europe's great Romanesque basilica, a Gothic "palm tree" vault over the tomb of Thomas Aquinas, merchant palaces raised on a monopoly in blue dye, and a bridge that outlasted every flood.
The route runs from the Basilique Saint-Sernin through Place du Capitole and the Couvent des Jacobins down to the Garonne and the Pont Neuf, then on to the Hotel d'Assezat, the Dalbade, Saint-Etienne Cathedral and the cafes of Place Saint-Georges.
