Toulouse

In Toulouse, you'll find yourself surrounded by artwork both old and new. Visit galleries such as EXPRMNTL Galerie, showcasing the cutting edge of modern art. Then make sure you visit the Musée des Augustins – a collection of paintings and sculptures from as far back as the Middle Ages – and the more modern and contemporary art-focused Musée Les Abattoirs.

Enjoy the excellent local cuisine – make sure you try the regional speciality, the meat and white bean stew known as cassoulet – before going out for a night on the town at one of the many popular bars along Place Saint-Pierre.
