Wander the narrow streets of the historic center
As soon as you leave the Hôtel de France***, immerse yourself in the charm of the historic centre of Toulouse. Here, the cobbled streets, lined with red brick facades, tell the story of the Pink City. As you venture into the rue Saint-Rome, once used by merchants, you will discover a tangle of shops, cafes and small shops that make up the charm of the city.
A few steps away, the Place du Capitole is imposing with its majestic neoclassical facade and elegant arcades. Continuing towards the rue du Taur, let yourself be surprised by the Saint-Sernin basilica, a jewel of Roman heritage and classified by UNESCO. Its octagonal bell tower, typical of Toulouse, rises proudly above the red roofs.
Continue your walk to rue des Filatiers and place de la Trinité, where the medieval atmosphere is still present. The private hotels with wrought iron balconies testify to the past opulence of pastry merchants. Take a break in the shade of the plane trees of Place Saint-Georges, where lively terraces invite you to enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine from the Southwest.
After a day full of discoveries, find the modern and soothing comfort of your room at the Hôtel de France. The atmosphere is elegant and relaxing, perfect for recharging your batteries before leaving to explore other treasures of Toulouse, such as the quays of the Garonne or the convent of the Jacobins.
Strolling through the historic centre of Toulouse is to soak up its vibrant and warm soul, just a few steps from your hotel.
