The Clarity of Brick

You'd be hard-pressed to find a better location in Toulouse than this apartment. Head downstairs and find yourself in the Place du Capitole. The vibrant, beating heart of the Toulouse. Where bistro tables sprawl out in the summer, where stallholders have impressive collections of cheeses, where you'll catch a glimpse of newlyweds stepping out of the city hall. You don't need to go and find the city, the city has come to you. But tucked away in your cosy apartment, you won't feel like you're right in the mix of things. Tall ceilings invite the sunlight to cascade over the bright white walls and terracotta floors, opening this snug apartment right up. It's the perfect bolthole for exploring the rest of the city, with comfy furnishings and inviting beds.

Take a moment to look outside your window and you'll see why they call Toulouse the 'Pink City'. Enjoy a fresh coffee to awaken the senses before heading out into the thick of things. Explore the nearby shopping streets, take the four-minute walk to the bistro cafe-lined streets of Saint Georges, and gape at the architectural beauty of Basilique Saint-Sernin, a nine-minute walk away. Come nighttime, you certainly don't have to go far for a good time. Toulouse has something for everyone. Catch a show at the theatre right on your doorstep, walk for ten minutes to sip cocktails at fancy bars in Carmes, or go clubbing in Place Saint Pierre – also a ten-minute walk away. Anything you want is within easy reach. Not to mention the Place du Capitole itself, where you can sip on wine, nibble on charcuterie, and watch the world go by.
