While cozying up indoors has its appeal in autumn, exploring the timeless charm of Toulouse is a journey worth taking.
Nestled in the heart of southwestern France, “La Ville Rose” offers an autumn experience that’s rich in colour, culture, and culinary delight. With Air Canada’s year-round flights departing up to five times weekly from Montréal, getting there is as smooth as a sip of French wine.
GOLDEN EVENINGS IN BUZZING BISTROS
As the air turns crisp and leaves fall, Toulouse’s bistros and wine bars glow with warmth and energy. Locals linger over long meals and visitors are always invited to join the conversation. Whether it’s with a robust red from nearby Gaillac or a seasonal dish by candlelight, the city’s spirit is irresistible.
AUTUMN FLAVOURS, À LA FRANÇAISE
Fall in Toulouse is a feast for the senses. Travellers can indulge in the region’s signature cassoulet or try garbure, a rustic soup brimming with garden vegetables and cured meats. From flaky pastries to earthy cheeses, every bite reflects the bounty of the season and the soul of southern French tradition.
HISTORY IN EVERY STONE
With roots stretching back to Roman times, Toulouse is a city where history whispers from every corner. Travellers take time out to stroll through the medieval streets of the Old Quarter, admire the grandeur of the Capitole de Toulouse, or visit the Basilica of Saint-Sernin, one of Europe’s largest Romanesque churches.
ON THE MOVE IN TOULOUSE
For active travellers eager to explore beyond the ordinary, Toulouse offers an invigorating escape. With its proximity to the Pyrenees mountain range, the city serves as a gateway to scenic hiking trails that wind through lush valleys and rugged peaks, while the Canal du Midi invites cyclists to cruise along its tranquil, tree-lined paths.
