Are you looking to be inspired? These 17 standout shots of Toulouse are here for just that purpose. Toulouse, France is different than any other French city that I have visited.
Toulouse is located 600 km / 375 miles from the border of Spain. You can certainly see the Spanish influence, not only in the architecture but in the food as well.
I hope my 17 standout shots of Toulouse spark curiosity and motivate you to add it to your bucket list.

Best of What to Do in Toulouse
My favorite way to enjoy a new city is by going on a bike tour. Having a personal guide taking you to each interest point is a time-efficient way to see everything. Unless you are visiting in really undesirable weather, consider this bike tour!
Toulouse is a very Instagramable city. I spent most of my time strolling around, taking photos. Some of the most beautiful shots I got were of the churches. The most famous church in Toulouse is the Notre-Dame du Taur. There is a small fee for admittance, but it’s worth it.

Day Trip From Toulouse
If you are looking to take a day trip or move on to a new destination, I would recommend Bordeaux! Bordeaux is located north of Toulouse and is only 2 hours away by Train.
Bordeaux has an entirely different vibe than Toulouse. The food is more French-inspired, and the architecture is much like a fairytale. Here is an exclusive city guide to Bordeaux, perfect for the solo traveling female!

Amazing photos, you’ve really inspired me to visit Toulouse. I’ve been before to Paris and the French coast, but next time, I’ll be adding Toulouse to the itinerary.

Toulouse looks like such a cute town to visit. I would love to do a bike tour there. I have been to Bordeaux which is another cute town.

That’s my neck of the woods! We are nearer Bordeaux, but I do love Toulouse. My favourite thing is to wander the markets on the main square and then apéro at this cute little student bar by the river. Santé bonheur!
