Discover the emblematic Place du Capitole

10 minutes walk from your hotel in the center of Toulouse is the beautiful Place du Capitole. 

Emblematic symbol of Toulouse, the Place du Capitole is a must-see for any visitor. Located in the city center, it seduces with its huge paved esplanade and its majestic Capitole, a building dating from the eighteenth century that houses the Town Hall and the Theater of the Capitol. Its pink and white facade, decorated with columns and sculptures, perfectly embodies the architectural elegance of Toulouse.

While strolling on the square, admire the famous medallion of the Occitan cross, embedded in the ground with its twelve signs of the zodiac. Culture lovers can visit the Hall of Fame, a sumptuous gallery with painted ceilings that recalls the grandeur of the city.

Around the square, many terraces of cafes and restaurants allow you to enjoy local specialties such as cassoulet or sausage from Toulouse. In the evening, the atmosphere becomes magical with lights illuminating the arcades and the facade of the Capitol.

A few steps away, discover other treasures such as the Saint-Sernin Basilica, a Romanesque masterpiece classified by UNESCO, and the Convent of the Jacobins, famous for its impressive stone palm tree. Shopping enthusiasts will appreciate the surrounding shopping streets, including Rue Saint-Rome.

For a comfortable stay, the Hôtel de France in Toulouse offers elegant rooms in the city center, close to the Capitole.

Finally, the Place du Capitole is also the scene of major events such as concerts, markets and festivities, making it a lively and dynamic place at any time of the day.
