The 32 best things to do with kids in Toulouse

Great place. I saw a lot of comments that everything is in French only, well, that's not true, apart from some spectacles, everything is available in French, English and Spanish. However, they could provide some subtitles for the French only parts. I spent there 1 full day, it's enough to see the most important parts and walk through the whole object. If you want to really have full experience and see everything thoroughly, 2 days are recommended. Great place for kids, adults and anyone who loves space exploration. My favorite spectacle was the imax space images. Overall, highly recommended.

This is Europe’s largest space and astronomy-themed park, opened in 1997 in Toulouse — a major hub of the European aerospace industry (home to EADS Astrium, Airbus, etc.). This science and education complex features full-scale replicas of the Ariane 5 rocket, Mir space station, and various satellites, as well as interactive exhibits, planetariums, a 3D IMAX theater, and space simulators. Designed for both children and adults, the park offers hands-on experiences and educational workshops that explore the past, present, and future of space exploration. Visitors are recommended to spend at least half a day, with 1-day and 2-day tickets available. On-site accommodation is also available.

Great time. We went on a Tuesday in September so it was very quiet and we got to do all we wanted in a day. Highly recommend the Lunexplorer and the Mars robot exhibition

If you’re in Toulouse and even remotely curious about space, the Cité de l’Espace is a must-visit — especially with kids. I went with my daughter, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had together. The IMAX Deep sky show was fantastic. Gazing at the stars in the Planetarium made us feel like we were travelling through the galaxy. The highlight is the Lune Explorer where you get to experience being an astronaut on a mission to Moon. You can literally feel the 2G force!

It's a must see if you are in the area. I would recommend setting a few hours aside if you visit - especially if you want to check out some of the shows on offer. Planetarium and take off simulations are great - the latter does have quite a bit of a wait time however. Translation headphones are available for planetarium - English and Spanish. There's also a restaurant and food trucks, the only thing missing was a coffee truck for some pick me up. Overall spent around 5h and haven't seen everything.

Love it! Very good place to visit. Full of astronomy, stars, planets, and fun things. Tons of activities to do and see. You would need the whole full day for this. Highly recommended.

Nice space oriented museum, from the first rocket into space, to the future. Pitty that there isn't any Dutch, as a neighbour country this would have been nice. (Translating everything for my kids was exhausting 😁) A lot of interactive stuff, friendly staff, children are more than welcome to experiment and try things. But again, only in french.. A lot to discover, you'll need at least a full day if you want to see everything.

Tucked in the heart of Toulouse, this basilica left a quiet but lasting impression on us. What makes it special is not lavish ornamentation, but the materials and structure themselves. It was beautifully raw and full of history.

It is a nice and clean church, both the exterior and interior are beautiful, it was a pleasure to visit this church during a day trip to Toulouse and a walk around the city center. When we entered the church, young girls and boys were singing religious songs and a good spiritual atmosphere was created. The church was relatively quiet and had the necessary peace. I personally felt very good and I hope you will also have a good experience visiting this church.

The basilica is one of the largest Romanesque-style churches in Europe and a major landmark of Toulouse. Construction began around 1080 and continued through the 13th century. The building reflects a pure Romanesque design with later Gothic additions, combining red brick with pale stone. Its most iconic feature is the 64-meter octagonal bell tower, a defining element of the city’s skyline.

This is a truly mind blowing cathedral. It is the largest remaining Romanesque church in the world. Its soaring barrel voltage ceiling gives a sense of space and majesty. There are wonderful statues and some incredible fresco paintings which have survived hundreds of years. I must see when in this city.

Beautiful architecture. We were lucky that there was a wedding ceremony when we entered so we got to hear the organ play live which was amazing. The entrance is free. Highly recommend a visit.

This church is really good if you're interested in medieval church architecture and history. Items of interest are well presented and there is an informative video running showing how the building evolved. Thoroughly recommended and free to enter.

Beautiful church with lovely area outside to relax. Wortth a visit for quiet contemplation..

Given the 5 eur entrance fee I wasn't expecting much but was amazed by the displays. Not so much the Roman era busts, coins and mosaics, or pre Roman artefacts which were vaguely interesting to myself (although the very fun set of reliefs of the Labours of Hercules was a great reminder of those epic legends and a highlight), and much more by teh temporary exhibition on the 1st floor with outstanding displays of Egyptian sarcophagi, an incredibly well preserved mummy and other ancient Egyptian as well as European medieval artefacts. I happily spent over an hour here taking it all in. According to the signage, only 3% of their collection is on display at any one time, which boggles the mind - if the other objects are of the same quality and all went on display, they could open mini Louvre! Worth every cent of those 5 eurs for entry.

This is an archaeological museum, specializing in artifacts from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages, with a particular focus on the Gallo-Roman period. It offers deep insight into the ancient history and early Christian heritage of Toulouse and the wider Occitanie region. The museum is housed in a 16th-century former university residence, which has served as a museum since 1892. The collections include Roman sculptures, funerary steles, everyday objects, and early medieval relics, offering a chronological journey through the region’s ancient civilizations. ※ Included in the Toulouse Pass Tourisme.

This is more like a gem of a museum, information is very well presented, and very well worth if you want to learn the history of Toulouse from pre Roman to the Roman times and later. Seeing a mummy made it even more worthwhile.

Surprising gem of a museum; be sure to visit the upper floors. There’s a head of the female Pharaoh Hatshepsut and a mummy, many Roman imperial busts found in a single excavation, and several gold Celtic torques.

Although only a 3-star experience for adults, it is absolutely a 5-star experience for children, with many interactive activities encouraged for small children. Very accessible examples of Roman and Toulouse archeological items. Nothing groundbreaking but interesting nonetheless.

A nice museum, well laid out and presenting exhibits from pre Roman time to the medieval centuries. Many of the items are helpfully interpreted in English (thank you). On a personal note, I did find the exhibiting of a partially unwrapped Egyptian mummified person disturbing, as I think did some others. I believe that public sensibilities have changed since since the initial removal of the mummy from it's original resting place. The remoteness of their death should not allow us to forget that this was a human being, who's remains deserve more respect than being put in a glass case for people to stare at. Hopefully this will be something the team will review (as indeed Manchester Museum are doing).

Very good archaeology museum for the region of Toulouse. Prehistoric, celtic, Roman, visigothic, and early French articles. Coins, marble statues, mosaics, pottery, tools, weapons, jewelery, papers, and more. There is a floor related to the Cathars and their defeat by the pope. There are descriptions for most items in English and many in Castellano as well. All housed in a nice old building. Pleasant staff. Good little museum store. And a small cafe adjacent. I would mark the review with 5 stars, if it was larger. Generally, very, very good.

Modern Art exhibition with focus on farming people. I liked the place and the surrounding park. It’s located on the riverside opposite of the city center of Toulouse and both the area and the exhibition are worth a visit.

One of the places my son and I have enjoyed very much. He even took a power nap there and I take the opportunity to tank one more time to the very kind lady at the entrance of the light room, for letting him sleep on her chair. This is an old convent transformed in a museum with a beautiful patio garden with heavenly smelling roses and other beautiful plants that give these place a short of calmness and tranquility that you could only find in a church environment. On the other hand all the sculptures and artworks around compliment the settlement very well and the way the artwork is exposed, displayed is just fab. Loved it! 🙏

Unfortunately, the museum is on renovation until 2025..., but the garden and a small exhibition are open. Also, there is a small caffe still working. So, I recommend visiting!

I paid 6 euro just to see one floor. The museum is two floors but the second one was closed!! The museum itself is nice but i don't think it was worth the money. There was a temporary exhibition when i went there so i have managed to see more than what i was supposed to. But still didn't satisfy me.

Truly a wonderful museum of Toulouse. Museum entry free 12 Euro per adult and school or college concession available in the entry free. Some world class oil painting and collection of old historical items in one place. Must watch place in Toulouse. Highly Recommended.

A fine museum. Although, unfortunately the paintings gallery is undergoing renovations currently, there is still plenty to see. The buildings and the cloisters and garden are themselves magnificent and house some great sculptures and many of Toulouse's artefacts from many of the other old and former religious buildings of the city. The serried ranks of gargoyles that line one side of the cloisters are marvellous as are the medieval sculpture and carvings. Within the church lies the reliquary of St Augustine along with some fine religious painting by such luminaries as Van Dyck and Rubens to name just two. I look forward to returning to see the painting gallery following its renovation due in 2019.

Beautiful building with your normal classical art. Was being worked on so parts of building we could bot visit. Coffee was a good price.

The Muséum de Toulouse is a fascinating and beautifully curated space that brings science, nature, and history to life. From the incredible dinosaur skeletons to the engaging biodiversity exhibits, every section is thoughtfully presented with both adults and kids in mind. The layout is modern and easy to navigate, and many displays are interactive or multilingual, which is a big plus. The museum’s focus on environmental awareness and the connection between humans and nature is especially impactful. A must-visit if you're in Toulouse — plan to spend at least 2-3 hours here!

The Toulouse Museum is a perfect place to explore, especially with children. It’s a well-organized and comprehensive museum, free to enter with the Tourism Pass. With several exhibition areas and even an outdoor botanical garden, it offers a great variety of experiences. A must-visit for a fun and enriching time in the city!

This is the second largest natural history museum in France, after the one in Paris. Founded in 1796, it originated from the collection of botanist Philibert Commerson and has since grown to house over 2.5 million specimens and artifacts. Its exhibitions cover a wide range of subjects including earth sciences, paleontology, anthropology, zoology, botany, and environmental sustainability. Many displays feature striking visual elements and interactive installations, making it especially appealing for families and children. The museum is directly connected to the Jardin des Plantes, allowing visitors to explore live plant species and observe local ecosystems outdoors. A full visit typically takes at least 2 hours to half a day, depending on your pace and interests. / ※ Included in the Toulouse Pass Tourisme.

-€12 for an adult ticket -Fantastic -Friendly staff -Nice gift shop -Garden is also lovely -Toilets are gender neutral and need a good clean as they looked grubby and smelt

Great museum we'll laid out. Modern with cafe and toilets. Great exhibition of natural history stuffed animals and dinosaur skeletons. Takes about 4 hours.

I have been to a lot of natural history museums and this is quite wonderful. Enormous display of animals; educational sections on earth science, taxonomy and speciation; thought provoking display of artifacts demonstrating basic commonalities of human cultures. I would have enjoyed even better if there had been English translations. The temporary exhibit on domestication of plants and animals. did have English and was brilliant for all ages.

Very modern and well organised museum. On top of the museum visit you can as well visit a small but cute botanic garden.

Place du Capitole is a beautiful and vibrant heart of Toulouse. The architecture is stunning, the atmosphere lively yet charming. A must-see in the Pink City!

Place du Capitole is the heart of Toulouse and home to the city's beautiful town hall building. The square is lively and surrounded by restaurants and cafés—perfect for relaxing, people-watching, or enjoying a meal outdoors. It’s a great spot to soak in the atmosphere of the city.

​A visit to Toulouse isn't complete without spending some time at Place du Capitole. This square is the absolute heart of the city, and you can feel the energy the moment you step into it. The architecture is stunning—the pink bricks of the buildings glow beautifully in the sunlight, and the magnificent Capitolio building is a must-see.

A must visit in your tour of Toulouse, in its present form a grande space for markets, bistros, histories of this ancient town can be experience and appreciated here.

Interesting historical venue. Nice place to enjoy a meal and people watching.

This is the central square of Toulouse, serving as the heart of civic life and local government since the 12th century. Its name is derived from the Roman word "Capitolium (Capitoline Hill)", reflecting the city's ancient roots. Dominating one side of the square is the Capitole building, which houses Toulouse's City Hall and the Théâtre du Capitole, the city's main opera house. The square regularly hosts open-air markets, seasonal festivals, and public events — including a popular Christmas market in winter and concerts or cultural activities in the summer.

The Capitole building has amazing architecture and stunning views. Good place to hang out and eat out.

Very interesting but very cold & damp. Looks quite neglected around the sides, but it is well worth the visit. I was most interested in the style of some of the glazed windows. I don't think I have seen any quite like these!

Very good, enjoyed it a lot. Very pretty, with texts explaining the various sections

Incredible architecture in this cathedral, fully worth a visit, such a massive brick structure to marvel at.

A wonderful cathedral with an interesting history and fascinating juxtaposition of architectural styles. There is some major renovation going on in the red brick section of the building, so it was not possible to visit this area. But the main cathedral is wonderful with its soaring ceilings and vaulted archestruly stunning.

A beautiful work of design and engineering, the meaning of any Church is to welcome travellers, and to show mercy to them, I arrive by bicycle with my panniers, it’s pouring with rain, I enter the church with my bicycle and in by a few minutes moments a arrogant man whom works for the church rushes towards me, he tells me bicycles are forbidden inside the church. I must put it outside, and my bags, all 40 kilograms of them I can bring them into the church. It’s not an electric bike sir! This man hath no place to deter travellers from the house of god. Jesus welcomes travellers. Five stars for the cathedral Nil stars for the arrogant employee of the church To also clarify bicycle travellers are welcome in all church’s and cathedrals across France including Notre Dame in Paris because they actively welcome travellers by bicycle.

This is the most iconic tourist attraction you must visit in Toulouse! This church is splendid and full of a saintly atmosphere.

Incredible - definitely worth a visit, the photos don't do it justice.

It is good museum,it showcases different statues from India,China,Japan and Egypt.

Charming and fascinating museum of antiquities tucked in a lovely corner of Toulouse.

5 euro a little overpriced for a very short visit. The staff were not very friendly. The exhibits were interesting and were well displayed but there was no information about George himself. The garden had potential but lacked benches to sit. I think I would have been quite happy just to see the outside of the building which is really lovely. It's a way out of town but no toilets or refreshments available.

Information is only in french, and even that's pretty limited. Entry is cheap and free for students, and the (downstairs) egyptian collection is a bit more elaborate. All in all a nice small museum to cool down on a hot day, but not something to base a daytrip around.

Great little museum with amazing asian and Egyptian antiquities in a very peaceful part of Toulouse near the canal and the Jardin des Plantes. This is our 2nd visit with the kids. They really liked it also. A little bit macabre with the Egyptian mummy. Hopefully the original objects will be returned to their respective countries museums and replicas carefully made instead. In the meantime great place with kids

Quite small, I visited the place during 30min and that was enough for me. The location is nice. The collection itself is kind of complete but I think you need to be an connoisseur to really enjoy what's there. It's not my kind of museum but that's my personal opinion.

The 2nd best museum in Toulouse. NOT to miss. Mesmerizing architecture and beautiful garden in the background. Alongside amazing items from Japan and China and an actual MOMMY from Egypt. Best to visit on a sunny day cause you go straight out to the gorgeous Canal du Midi and the Port Saint Sauveur.

Quai des Savoirs is a lovely place for kids.Parents and caretakers along with kids have a great time as they recall their school and college years in a very interactive way. I, my husband , kids aged 3 and 6 had an awesome time learning, playing, experimenting

We visited the Comme des moutons exhibition. It was fantastic, high quality exhibits, excellent explanations and interactive displays. I am a retired industrial psychologist and I found this by far the best exhibition on these issues I have ever experienced. I took my 15 year old son and we spent hours there.

I was walking close by and I saw the announcement of the actual exhibition in the place, the Comme des Moutons. It was a nice surprise this exhibition, small but very cool. Great topic, well explored and presented. I learned several things I didn't know.

This is a science, technology, and innovation center managed by the city of Toulouse, opened in 2016. The name "Quai" does not refer to an actual riverbank but symbolically evokes a "platform for the exchange of ideas." Its mission is to make science and technology accessible and engaging by integrating them with art, culture, and digital media. The center regularly hosts large-scale themed exhibitions that change with each season, making it highly worth revisiting. It also offers educational programs tailored for children and teenagers, and includes outdoor installations and hands-on booths for public interaction. ※ Included in the Toulouse Pass Tourisme.

The AI exhibition is fine, a bit boring for kids though. The experiments "atelier pour enfants" were very nice, kids were able to use a 3D printer to print some tetris piece and the second part they assembled a robot and analyzed its actions. It was a great experience overall.

The museum closes regularly at 18:00, the security pushes out the people 10 min before in a very rude way... Besides this, the exhibition is nice.

Nice place to bring your kid :)

Great selection of meat, cheese, seafood, fruits and vegetables. Local produce mainly and imported food. Lovely restaurants on second floor service local specialties. Try the oysters!

Victor Hugo Market is easy to find and very pleasant to explore. The outdoor area is lined with fresh fruits and vegetables — I even spotted some porcini mushrooms (planned to buy them later, but they were sold out by the time I came back 😂). Inside, you’ll find all the classic European market goodies — cheeses, meats, olives, and more. I was amazed by a beautiful little cake for €4 — couldn’t resist buying it, and the vendor even gave me a lovely box for it. At the far end, there’s a fresh seafood section with oysters, salmon, and all kinds of seafood. I chose a dozen oysters for €18 plus €2 for opening — €20 in total. Slightly salty, incredibly fresh, and so delicious that all twelve disappeared in just a few minutes!

Typical french market , long established. So many choices of stalls for products sourced locally. Very friendly and helpful shop keepers. The place is crowded with locals. The choice of French fromage , wines and patisserie is mouth watering. I keep coming back to the place.

Amazing market that is clean and have a wide selection of quality food and produce. There is a big car park upstairs and the parking lots are much wider than the normal ones in the city

This is the largest and most renowned covered market in Toulouse, celebrated for its fresh produce, regional delicacies, and upstairs restaurants that make it a culinary hotspot. Named after the famous French writer Victor Hugo, the current building was completed in 1959, though a market has operated on this site since the late 19th century. It's a central gathering place for locals and visitors alike, offering everything from meats, cheeses, and seafood to wine and pastries.

The Victor Hugo Market in Toulouse is an absolute feast for the senses, offering a vibrant and authentic taste of French gastronomy. From the moment you step in, you're enveloped in a bustling atmosphere filled with incredible sights and aromas. The market truly excels in its fresh produce section, with stalls brimming with an impressive array of colorful fruits and vegetables. It's clear that quality and freshness are paramount, making it a fantastic spot to pick up ingredients for a home-cooked meal or simply enjoy the vibrant display. Inside the main market hall, the offerings become even more enticing. The cheese stalls are a highlight, showcasing an incredible selection of local and regional cheeses. The sheer variety, from soft and creamy to aged and pungent, is a cheese lover's dream, beautifully presented and often adorned with little red flowers, adding to their charm. The knowledgeable vendors are often happy to offer advice and samples. For meat and charcuterie enthusiasts, the market does not disappoint. You'll find an extensive range of sausages, terrines, and other cured meats, alongside fresh cuts, all impeccably displayed and promising high quality. Beyond the raw ingredients, the market also boasts prepared foods that are perfect for a quick bite or a gourmet picnic. The selection of empanadas (both chicken and spinach) and chicken croquettes looked incredibly tempting, offering a delicious and convenient option for lunch. Whether you're a serious foody, a curious traveler, or just looking for high-quality local produce, Marché Victor Hugo is a must-visit in Toulouse. It's not just a market; it's a culinary experience that captures the essence of French food culture.

Interesting architecture, but very expensive produce. I cant imagine this is where the people of Toulouse come for their shopping. I did look like you might have a nice drink with some oysters though. I could imagine the restaurants are worth a stop

Perfect place for different type of activities mainly my walking but mostly cruising the canal . Pedestrian walkways create a postcard-perfect ambiance, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a relaxing bike ride.

It is not the most picturesque place during winter but it is nice to take a walk along the canal

Excellent place for walking and specially running while in Toulouse. You can run following the channel path Beautiful

Best place for walking. Peace and quiet. Absolutely love it

Living History

I always find peace in riverside walking, it's a fantastic way to unwind and enjoy nature. The gentle sound of the water flowing creates a very calming atmosphere for me.🚶‍♀️ I love to take in the fresh air and admire the beautiful scenery around me. 🏞️ The best part is that I can go for a walk and clear my head from all the daily stress. The bridges and pathways offer a chance to enjoy the view. I often spot some beautiful birds 🐦 and other wildlife that makes the experience even more enjoyable. I love the feeling of the sun on my skin.🌞 Taking a stroll by the river is an excellent way to recharge my batteries. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing activity. #RiversideWalk #NatureLover #Relaxation #PeacefulVibes #Walking

(Translated by Google) The Canal du Midi is ideal for walking, cycling, or simply sitting back and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of nature. (Original) El Canal de Midi es ideal para pasear, ir en bici o simplemente sentarse a disfrutar de un ambiente tranquilo en la naturaleza.

The garden is beautiful. Lovely places to sit and different areas to walk near water, fountains, under shade and in the open. Always tonnes of people working on improvements! Lovely vibe!!!!!

Beautiful gardens. Sometimes quite busy but fun to watch everyone posing on the bridge. Other times very quiet and tranquil.

A wonderful gem in Toulouse. The Japanese garden is done wonderfully and has a little Japanese house which explains the design of the garden. There’s a little bridge with fish in the pond. There’s also a raked zen garden. A tranquil place.

The garden itself is really peaceful and well-kept, with a nice layout that makes it easy to wander around and enjoy the scenery. It didn’t feel too crowded despite being a weekend. Overall, a really pleasant spot to relax for a bit if you’re in the area.

This is a traditional Japanese garden located within Jardin Compans-Caffarelli. Modeled after the gardens of Kyoto, it was created in 1990 and named in honor of Pierre Baudis, the city’s mayor at the time. The garden faithfully recreates key elements of Japanese landscaping, including a red arched bridge, bonsai trees, a sand garden, bamboo groves, stone lanterns, and a koi pond. It offers a serene, exotic retreat within the urban landscape, inviting visitors to enjoy a moment of peace and harmony in the heart of the city.

A beautiful place of tranquility in the centre of Toulouse. Plenty of benches for a picnic. Large Koi carp swimming in the lake. Not all paths suitable for people with mobility difficulties.

really enjoyed this little garden only small area is actually Japanese. There is a small pond with Koi fish and turtle which is interesting to see. there's a Japanese building on the on the pond which provides shade and some minimal seating. Be careful as some paths are made out of stone and uneven so better in mind if you're going with elderly however most of them are flat.

Up until last night, I enjoyed several days of the most friendly people and warm service in this wonderful city. In contrast, Emile was a slice of Parisian attitude in Toulouse, and not in a good way. The food was actually very good, if pushing the bounds of overpriced - we enjoyed the langoustine ravioli in a fabulous shellfish broth, and the pigeon was as tender as you could hope. Slight niggles with the other two dishes - tartare of langoustine mixed with a tartare of veal just didn't work, the shellfish was lost in it, and then fillets of tubot with truffle risotto ranged between perfectly cooked and overcooked, which is disappointing when they are charging 35 eurs for the pleasure. Still, the food isn't the main issue. The real issue with this place is the staff. In contrast to their Toulouse brethren who welcomed us with love and warmth throughout the city's streets, cafes and restaurants, the team here (bar one young male waiter) behaved as if all happiness had long been sucked out of them and they took zero pleasure in hosting their guests. Cold, unfriendly and bordering on rude was the experience from booking (in person, a couple of days before) through to the dinner itself. It wouldn't be so bad if it was a cheap joint but when a restaurant charged 143 EUR for two, it's offensive.

The experience could not be better! The cassoulet was bursting with flavor! Much much better than "Maison de cassoulet" in Casteulnedrie which is home of cassoulet! The staff were super kind and accommodating and everything tasted heavenly good!

We dined here for lunch without reservation by arriving when they opened. The cassoulet was delicious and highly recommended, the best in Toulouse that I have tried so far.

Restaurant Emile is famous in Toulouse for its cassoulet. Even though it was a hot summer evening, we did enjoy the dish. Luckily, we made a reservation as the restaurant was fully booked. The desert was also excellent.

When a Grande Dame walks in with a walking stick, takes a seat alone at a table for 4 and the staff don't object on a busy, sunny afternoon and immediately deliver her favourite Champagne, you instantly know this is the right place for a great lunch. We dined here on a busy Thursday afternoon, ordered starters, mains a few wines and dessert, and everything was superb. Scallops still attached to the shell, cod loin grilled to perfection on a bed of perfectly seasoned potatoes that was a main course we wanted as a starter, was sublime. My Sweetbreads main was perfection on a plate, and the star show, the local Cassoulet, was delivered with a good luck wish of 'bon courage' as it was so large. If you're in Toulouse, go!

Just wow! What a dinner. The food here was incredible. We had the foie gras as starter and then the magret de canard for main. Absolutely delicious. Every detail. The terrace is super nice in the square with lots of restaurants around. Totally recommend!!

You have to reserve your table in advance especially on weekends and holidays. We ordered smoked salmon and duck liver for starters. Both were great and better than expected. We ordered duck breast and grilled cod fish for our main dishes. Both of them were good. For dessert we ordered warm chocolate cake and orange sorbet which was very good. The service was great and fast. The atmosphere was cozy and nice. I recommend it to anyone's who wants to try French food.

This is France’s premier aviation museum, located in the Toulouse-Blagnac area, the heart of the European aerospace industry and home to the Airbus headquarters. Opened in 2015, the museum showcases the rich history of aviation through a collection of over 30 full-size aircraft, ranging from iconic commercial airliners to military planes and helicopters. Highlights include the Concorde, A300B, Super Guppy, and A380, with several models open for interior tours, offering visitors an immersive experience into aviation design and technology.

A fantastic museum with no less than two concords. One, a test rig and development plane, one of the very firsts of course was open to visits and was very much like the Embraer E195-E2 with 2+2 configuration I arrived on when you see to cabin space. But the entrance door on the Concord was way lower. So many objects of interests and then there is the outside that houses many more planes. There is a container way of the main building with free lockers for stuff you don’t want to carry around. Don’t forget them, I did and had to go back. There is a restaurant on the premises and next door there is a huge plane collection from a charity with an interest ion assortment of planes. Not open on my visit but you can se many of the planes from the outside.

This aeroplane museum is the reason why we stop in Toulouse. We enjoyed a few hours of visit here to see the old concord super fast aeroplane and the aeroplane (only 6 in the world) to ship aeroplane parts.

Amazing exhibition of aircraft, with a strong focus on some of Airbus' icons. The Concorde and A380 still being configured for test flights gives a unique insight compared to other aviation museums. A fantastic way to spend a couple of hours!

A very good airplane museum with a ton of well presented information. The coolest part was being able to walk inside the Concorde to learn about it and also the A380

One of the best aircraft museums I've visited and amongst the few ones where you can go inside the iconic Concorde. It has some of the legendary aircraft like Airbus a300 and the former test aircraft - First ever a320-100 (MSN 1), a340-600 and a380-800. Must visit for aviation enthusiasts. You can also reserve Airbus FAL visit.

Great museum for all ages. Lots of information about the history of the development of planes and their preparation for use, airport operations. You can go inside the Concord or Airbus 300. Worth a visit!

My sense is that we visited this on an off day and that on the right day this would be brilliant. The machines are awesome, and the massive creatures are awe inspiring when you see them move, the dragon coming to life and the Minotaur were real highlights that beautifully fuse art and engineering with music. Located around the hall are lots of smaller musical machines and some fairground games, all very cool and a lot involving fire. They have repurposed everyday objects into all sorts of amazing mechanisms and contraptions that do all sorts of unexpected things. The challenge when we visited was that there weren’t many staff around and so almost no demonstrations, and for me that is where things fell apart. The machines are cool when you see, play and touch them or watch them in action, when they are stationary it is a bit dull. The design sketches and projection rooms are interesting but this was hard work at times. That said I can see on another day with more demonstrations in action it would be amazing. Worth noting you need some French understanding and even some google translate to be able to understand stuff

This place was outstanding, I thought I would enjoy it but it superseded my expectations. The level of craftsmanship and detail in these designs is second to none. Also the fact that demonstrations are happening throughout the day makes you feel included and part of something instead of just looking at it. Fun for the whole family.

Visiting the Halle de La Machine is like stepping into a new dimension of art — one where creativity, engineering, and storytelling come together in the most unexpected and delightful ways. This is not your traditional museum or gallery; it’s a living, breathing performance space where machines become characters, and mechanics become music. The installations are not just impressive feats of engineering — they’re artistic expressions in motion. Each machine is brought to life through carefully choreographed animations, some of which even create music using unexpected objects. From industrial parts to everyday items, everything is reimagined to demonstrate the beauty of sound and movement. It's a powerful reminder that inspiration can come from anywhere. What truly sets this place apart is how it invites you to see engineering not just as a technical skill, but as an artistic language. The performances are not only imaginative and creative, but also incredibly pleasant to watch. There’s a poetic rhythm in the way each machine moves, and a sense of wonder in the storytelling that surrounds them. In short, the Hall of Machines is an inspiring place that redefines what art can be. Whether you’re a curious child or an adult with a love for invention, it’s an unforgettable experience that sparks creativity and leaves you smiling.

I really enjoyed the experience, but a few things you should now before going. It is not in the downtown area so you really have to plan goinng. It is close to other museums, so maybe it is a good plan to go to a few the same day. The place is small, it is not a big exhibition and from the big machines only the minoteur has a show. It is key to speak and understand some French to have the entire experience. Taking that in consideration, I loved it! I really loved the machines and the place. It is incredible what the machines can do and how they can amaze us still. There is a unique machine-like mary-go-round crossing the street that you should visit too.

Halle de la Machine is an excellent day out for young and old alike. We purchased tickets in advance for the museum and to ride the Minotaur. If you only want to visit the Halle, I don't think prebooking is essential, however, if you want to combine it with a Minotaur ride, definitely book in advance to take advantage of a combined ticket offer. The website said to allow 1.5-2 hours, although we stayed much longer. You'll receive a hand stamp, so you can go in and out as you please. Opposite, there are some restaurants and also an Auchan, if you want to get some food. There is a cafe at the Halle but we couldn't see any food being served there on the day we visited. The staff all look like they absolutely love their jobs, which isn't surprising, when they get to demonstrate bizarre contraptions all day. This is not hi-tech stuff, there's more of a steam punk vibe going on. (The Minotaur and his companions, though, are extremely technical but you just don't see it when you're observing because the detailing to bring them to life is so very impressive.) The exhibits range from the gigantic and awe inspiringly impressive Minotaur and dragon, down to frankly ridiculous but highly entertaining devices, such as the fishing rod sugar lump dispenser. Many of the exhibits had a Heath Robinson quality about them - watching the demonstration of Nutella being applied to bread has never been so curiously slow and yet entertaining! We rode on the Minotaur, which was a really fun experience and well worth doing, I think moreso to watch the reactions of people watching it go by! There were families of all ages and every single person seemed happy and awestruck in various ways. If you're in Toulouse, don't miss this fantastic day out. If you have guests with disabilities in your group, reduced rates and free carer tickets are available. We took a Bolt from the city centre, which cost around €12.

Definitely worth a visit , there's a carousel too , an exhibition, cafe , toilets , and rides on the minotaur too , not just for kids , you may need to book rides online as it does get booked up sometimes.

This is a large exhibition and performance space that opened in 2018 as part of Toulouse’s Piste des Géants redevelopment project in the Montaudran district, a historic site of early aviation. It showcases the creations of the French artistic collective La Machine. These machines are not only exhibited statically but are also brought to life through regular demonstrations, combining performance, engineering, and storytelling. The most iconic piece is Le Minotaure — a 14-meter-tall, 47-ton mechanical minotaur that can carry visitors on its back as it walks through Avenue de Montaudran. Alongside L’Araignée (the giant spider), these machines produce steam, fire, mechanical soundscapes, and the scent of oil, creating a fully immersive sensory experience that blends industrial art with fantasy.

The chapel's interior is charming thanks to the unique bright paintings on the ceiling and walls. Unfortunately, we had to admire this beauty only from the front door, since a modern installation was being prepared inside, and large screens blocked the view.

This is a small chapel, but it is certainly worth seeing. It has a plain exterior, but once you enter, you are overwhelmed by the richness of the paintings on the ceiling and walls. It’s beautiful vaulted arches give maximum space for the frescoes and they are quite beautiful.

The Chapelle des Carmélites is a small but truly stunning place in Toulouse. Originally part of a 17th-century Carmelite convent, the chapel is one of the city's hidden gems. Its richly decorated ceiling and beautiful frescoes create an atmosphere of peace and beauty. Though modest in size, it offers an impressive artistic and spiritual experience. A must-see for those who appreciate art, history, and quiet places.

A little must see gem two minutes away from the UNESCO Basilica of Saint-Sernin. The beautiful paintings are well preserved. There is an assessible toilet which is very handy. Free to visit like the Basilica.

Beautiful chapel where you can go for events like concerts. Acoustics are great. Atmosphere and ambiance are ethereal.

A desecreted church which is now adapted to event place. Free entrance when no event are held.

Classic music ,free concert

Annoying rule of one main each at least If not for the cassoulet, it would be a 3 star. The pigeon and the duck were not technically well executed at all. Duck was tough and not crispy, Paris-brest was average too Cassoulet is delicious though. Duck leg was crispy, Toulouse sausage was chunky and the sauce was thick as well

Friendly atmosphere, good choice of local wines, their well-known cassoulet. Desserts could have been better, they were too sugary with little taste

Superb food in a relaxed and friendly restaurant. I had the set 3 course for €49 euros, fois gras ravioli with caramelised potatoes was a sublime starter, so much flavour! Then the star of the show, the award winning Cassoulet, rich and creamy without being too heavy. Then dessert, a wonderfully light waffle with chantilly cream, chocolate sauce and pistachio. The wonderfully helpful staff gave great advice on choosing the accompanying 2 glasses of wine and finally an espresso to finish. Cost was ~€65 pre tip.

This was one of the best French meals I have had in France. Everything I ate was excellent. I highly recommend making a reservation and coming to this restaurant. The food was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. You cannot go wrong by booking a dinner here I 100% recommend that you come here for dinner.

I had Cassoulet the first time and I have to say it was work to eat it all, but lovely. The service is so kind, welcoming and warm you feel like you are visiting friends for dinner. Food and wine are all really just great. Better book a table online in advance. We spent 150€ for two with starter and dessert to share and a really good bootle of wine.

One of the finer meals I've had in France and it was worth every cent. I am impressed with how efficient and the friendliness of this establishment with only three people. The chef, an assistant, and the waitress who also works as the greeter. Never a pause but never feeling rushed when asking for recommendations. It is an all hands on deck operation. Short menu and in this case excellent execution. My second time having a Rossini and this place made it better. I like how they modified it for the better. I appreciate how the principal taste wasn't salt and butter. I could have drank the jus, which was fortified with cured pork. They opted to serve it with crusty bread over a crouton and it ate better. Who wants a soggy greasy crouton? The dish was balanced with full on umomi without feeling heavy. Nice sear on the filet and the foie was exquisite. I would have opted for shallots over red onions but oh so minor a preference. I went with the Galliac wine recommendation and it did go well with the beef. A tannic young wine (which I usually don't like), but leave it to France to make anything taste good. The dessert wasn't the star but no complaints with the babba rum cake. I like the fresh fruit addition which seeped into the rum. This place seems to specialize in cassoulet (not my favorite). However, if I were to try it again it would be here with duck confit. Only ten tables so I strongly recommend making a reservation. On this evening no further availability. It is easily done with a link on their website with a credit card hold. Ladies, don't wear heels unless you are a ballerina with excellent insurance. The semi-spiral staircase to the bathroom is steep with small steps.

One of the best restaurants we had dinner at in Toulouse! The staff was very friendly and helpful and the food was exceptional. Great selection of wines as well. We would definitely come back again.

One of the better museums in Toulouse (in terms of art; also, peep at the random Picasso painting). Historic paintings dating back to the 1500s and modern paintings dating to the 1900s. It has a decent selection and provides elevators and chairs for visitors with disabilities.

They have strict security check. I had to lead my food at the gate in a paper bag. Their lockers are currently not working, otherwise I’d love to impersonate a painter. Initially I thought the price is a little high for a small museum but later I realized it worths it. To protect some of the paintings, they installed motion-sensitive lights. The collection is also impressive. The temporary exhibition on jewelry is so shiny.

Totally worth a visit! The permanent collection is beautiful, dare I say it was the museum I liked the most in Toulouse! The temporary collection when I visited was on jewelry, which was also very impressive with lots of details. On the permanent collection you can find works from famous names, such as Degas, Gauguin, Matisse, Renoir, Picasso, Braque, etc. The visit is worth the price, at least for once!

Absolutely stunning museum with tons of paintings by my favorite Impressionists. You could easily spend a few hours just wandering around. The building itself is beautiful, and the inner courtyard is just breathtaking 🧡

Founded in 1995, Fondation Bemberg is housed in the 16th-century Hôtel d’Assézat. Its collection spans the 15th to 20th centuries, with paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts from artists including Titian to Picasso. ※ Included in the Toulouse Pass Tourisme.

An amazing museum with soooo much good art! The staff was really friendly and helpful, when I went - midweek - it was not too busy and you could take your time. It's well maintained and has a lot from the french masters that you may want to see. Would definitely recommend!!! ❣︎

18 euros is steep for any museum in my view, but I have to say, this collection earns it. This grand mansion holds a wonderful set of works (including paintings, furniture and sculpture) from throughout the ages, a little like a mini version of the Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, displaying them in chronological order as you work your way through the building. Absolute highlight for me was Lucas Cranach's Venus and Cupid stealing honey - especially appropriate here as there apparently are beehives on the roof of the building. Although hilariously, I can't post a photo of it here on Google because of "nudity" 😂 so you will just have to go and check for yourself! There are also works by famous artists including Carpaccio, Canaletto, Renoir, Sicker, Signac, Gaugin and an entire room dedicated to Bonnard (not a favourite of mine, but interesting nevertheless). There are large signs in French, English and Spanish in each room to introduce the theme of the room. It was very quiet on a Wednesday morning when I went, I almost had the place to myself.

A beautiful park for a relaxing walk. There is a café and a big playground, suitable for kids of all ages. Also some museums are nearby.

What a magical garden😍 Beautiful sculptures, cute animals around (chicken, geese, unique ducks, rats) wonderful waterfall coming out of a rock in between the trees. Cute coffee place at the entry, which was open despite the museum being shut. The mixture of the autumn colour definitely made the experience even better. Make sure to exit through the bridge above the roundabout - I personally thought it was a cool experience to walk above a busy road full of cars on top of this cute bridge with plants with beautiful flowers on the each side of it 🙌🏼

Very nice place to spend some time relaxing and enjoying a real nature environment in the heart of the city.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Parc Jardin des Plantes in Toulouse, and it was nothing short of enchanting. This hidden gem in the heart of the city is a haven for nature enthusiasts and anyone seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was greeted by a lush oasis of greenery. The meticulously maintained gardens are a testament to the dedication and passion of the park's caretakers. Each section of the park offers a different botanical experience, from vibrant flower displays to tranquil ponds with graceful swans. One of the highlights for me was the impressive collection of plant species from around the world. Walking through the various themed gardens, I felt like I had embarked on a global botanical journey. The diversity of flora on display is awe-inspiring and provides a valuable educational experience for visitors of all ages. The park's layout is designed with relaxation in mind. Numerous benches and shaded areas invite you to sit, unwind, and soak in the natural beauty. It's an ideal spot for a picnic, reading a book, or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll. Parc Jardin des Plantes also offers a delightful escape for families. Children will love exploring the winding pathways, discovering hidden corners, and observing the various wildlife that calls the park home. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a photographer, or just looking for a tranquil escape, Parc Jardin des Plantes is a must-visit in Toulouse. It's a place where you can reconnect with nature and find a moment of serenity amidst the city's excitement. I can't recommend this botanical paradise enough – it's a true gem in Toulouse.

Has a nice playground and plenty of space to spread out a blanket and enjoy nature

Beautiful park with ducks, geese & chickens as well as other assorted wildlife...

Lovely gardens with space to walk, sit, kids play area or visit one of the café stands. There will be a queue most weekends at the food stands and they're a bit pricey but kind of what you expect I guess

Nice canal that looks really beautiful at night. Very quiet and calm with not many people around usually. Great for a peaceful walk. Residential buildings and few small shops possess the nearby areas. It has a few small bridges which can help you get amazing photographs. Very much in the city, which makes it easier to visit.

Mirror reflection view of canal du midi. One place to not miss by tourist, hiker, cyclists, runner, picnic, leisure walk, calm sitting and what not. Absolutely stunning 😍

The section where it connects with the Garonne River is quite picturesque. The twin locks are still operational. When we were on the riverboat tour, we saw them being manually operated - love the engineering details. There is a pleasant canalside walk that leads to a new section of the Universite Toulouse 1 Capitole - Manufacture des Tabacs :: forrmerly a tobacco factory, the adaptive re-use strategy for this building is interesting. .. worth exploring. Should you want to take a break, there are several coffee places on Boulevard Marechal Leclerc, opposite the University entrance

Nice for a walk below the busy town roads.

Lived there for 4 years (Toulouse). Of its canals, this was always my favorite with the wheeping trees lining each side. Wonderful!

A must see for everyone who visits Toulouse. The Canal de Brienne is a beautiful place for a walk or a run, and you see a lot of locals going about their daily jogging here. If the weather is nice, take the boat trip on the canal, which enables you to get ti know a bit more of the city history. The downfall is that the tour guide is always in french. It will surely be worth it!

Lovely canal running through the city. Idyllic at places.

The church is deeply linked to the martyrdom legend of Saint Sernin (Saint Saturnin), the city's first bishop. According to tradition, this was the spot where he died after being dragged through the streets by a bull — a story reflected in the church's name, with "Taur" meaning bull in Occitan. The site originated in the 5th century as a small pilgrimage chapel, later evolving into the current structure, which was built between the late 14th and early 15th centuries in the Southern Gothic style.

An interesting church not far from the Capitole. It's quite ancient with old and faded painted wall decoration in a series of side chapels off the main body of the church. Open to the public it is a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle to sit and contemplate.

I'm sure it will be spectacular when it's finished.

Can't beat the original in France. Still good old looking church.

A beautiful and original church in the middle of crowdy Toulouse. Still showing its original paintings.

I can give only 2 stars. I was in Toulouse in February and tried to get inside for three days with no effect! The door was closed for visitors all the time without any information why. I was really disappointed. At least it looks nice form outside.

Beautiful decoration , lovely old church . Of course you should pop inside and look , they're not building lovely things like this any more It's clear that there are no earthquakes in this city ( all those high brick buildings ! )

It's a cute play area for kids and, best of all, is air conditioned... I would give it more stars but the staff didn't regulate the mandatory rule of everyone (INCLUDING parents) needing to wear socks in the play areas. Also, there was food and crumbs all over the floors. Boiling pot for hand foot and mouth disease!

Well...we used to come here with my son quite often, but I really didn't like the new concept of buying entries... Kinda disappointed...anyway my son enjoyed his stay with his friend there, but despite his birthday and maybe the fact that we hadn't booked a" bday party " the staff didn't even say: Happy birthday to him...hopefully he didn't care.... And btw the parking behind was awful 😖 what are those stones 🤣🤣🤣

Super 👌

Top!

Needs a little more attention from the owners.towards maintenance.

Excellent place for our little 2.5yr old. Very clean and friendly. Great place for a rainy day. Thankyou

Great place to come as it's never really crowded. Service is always nice. 4 stars as the drive is a bit far. But rather here than Monkey Park.😉

It was very good and our kids enjoyed a lot.

Good parking, nice interior playground, serves coffee end small treat for the parents, can sit down at table until kids tire out.ideal and inexpensive for kids birthday party.

Wonderful place for kids. My daughter loves it. Weekend nicely spent. And great staff.

Kids can enjoy this place for few hours

Cool

Definitely not worth a visit, 90% of the content are posters, films and audio - you don't want to go to a museum to see what you can see on the internet for free. The only attraction is one large plane and an engine. Officially the tour is 1.5h but in my opinion max 15-20min. Also take into account that the drive from the center takes almost an hour and costs twice as much as the museum. I definitely don't recommend it.

As a non french speaker, this was tough. I have noticed a pattern in some of the local museums, and that's the lack of translation in any other languages besides french (even the big ones). Everything looked interesting (even if few displays) but the lack of understanding ruined the experience.

That was probably one of the highlights of my for my trip in Toulouse. Was planning to visit the Halle des Machines next door. But their schedule changed unannounced. So, I stumbled upon this cool museum. The tour guide there greeted me when I arrived and changed to introduce in pretty good English when he realized that my French is almost nonexistent. There’s English in most exhibits. His tour was in French but he came back to me afterwards and tried to explain the history by simulating that I were one of the pilots recruited in the 1920’s. Very passionate people about what they are exhibiting! And his pilot outfit and waist coat etc are tailor made by artisan tailors using the methods from 100 years ago. You should check this museum out if you happen to visit the Halle des Machines even if you are not an aviation fan!

Good exhibition about the beginning of the French aviation. The only note I would make is to include subtitles in English on all of the historical footage. (Subtitles in English are however present on some of the descriptions)

A nice place to discover the history of the pioneers of aviation. I contains quite a lot of objects related to the first age of aviation together with interactive explanations of the evolution of the airlines in the years. It also includes a room dedicated to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and his adventures in the desert. Recommended!!

May 2021. Really a nice museum about the early days of Aeropostale, early 1920... And keep 20mn for the Saint Exupery exhibit on the way out. Really nice heartfelt colored displays and text.

Interesting museum in which you can discover a lot about the roots of the aerospace industry in Toulouse, going back to the creation of the Aeropostale.

When the weather is good, this is the place to be at and have a picnic. Prairie des Filtres is a park located in the bank of river Garonne. A little crowded on a sunny weekend but still you can find a place to chill out with friends and have beers.

Many activities/ festivals take place here throughout the year. Pleasant and beautiful place.

Season I went : Autumn Perfect place for weekend outing with friends/family or just a book reading session , right near in city center with the view of garone river. Very nice play area for kids also. In summer they have plages also :)

Great park with a buzzing atmosphere! When we arrived, there were a host of free activities, including table tennis, badminton and volleyball. Well worth a visit to relax in on a lounger and look at the views

Excellent park on the other side of Ponte Neuf bridge. There's contained space to let your dog off leash and the park is well maintained. Maybe people go there for lunch on a nice day. It's a great place to picnic.

July August festival of games for everyone to play(cards, board, wooden) plus bouncy castles, sand pits, painting and more and all for free. Really well done.

Nice green space by the Garonne river, where you can chill/have a picnic. There's only a small cafe located in this park.

A great park for all the family with trampolines, Zip slide and Laser games. Staff very friendly too. The kids had a fabulous time and granny too with an excellent coffee on a comfy setee 😊😊😊

Very big place with good quality trampolines. The kids really enjoyed it and they get never bored!

Excellent service, my children loved very much . It has been recommended to all of you who like to go Trampoline park in Toulouse.

Had the best time! Very entertaining and the staff were so nice and friendly!

Great for the kids ! A little bit noisy for big space. And easy access.

Great place! Came for a stag and they were so helpful- highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our time here at the laser game. Would recommend.

Lovely little park to sit and relax in

The garden is spacious, green even in the winter when many trees have lost their leaves , thanks to it's exotic vegetation and it has plenty of chairs. Usually there are free bags available to collects your pets' 💩. There is suspicion of contamination on the Garden's lake for quite a few weeks now, and the place is isolated simply with a tape, so children and pets can reach those waters. Beware if you're ever there with them.

Beautiful place, smaller, quieter and less crowded than Jardin des Plantes. Perfect for a picnic, for reading a book or just for chilling while enjoying the nice weather. Friendly staff from the parks department.

Nice, peaceful and annotated place. Consider it while walking around the beautiful city!

Beautiful tranquil garden loved also by locals, not just visitors. Love the fauntain in the middle of the park, colourful flowers and plants. Has ducks and gee's swimming in the little canal. On the weekend afternoons, the garden comes alive with fun activities for little kids, picnics, and friend gatherings. We even bumped into the A.S.Exupéry and Little Prince. 🥰

Beautiful, clean, safe and tranquil gardens. A lovely place to enjoy some time on a sunny day. Right near the heart of the city.

You can tell that the park is well attended by how beautiful it is even it’s still the beginning of March. With several statues scattered around the park, the overall atmosphere is agreeable. There are two bridges connecting to the park nearby, which is safe for all pedestrians and provides an extraordinary experience for visiting two great parks in Toulouse. On weekends, there will be an antique market sometimes next to the park.

Les Bateaux Toulousains offers a beautiful cruise along the canals and the Garonne River. It’s a perfect experience to enjoy the city from the water, taking in the charming sights of Toulouse. Tickets are available at a discount with the Tourism Pass, making it an even better option. Highly recommended for a relaxing and scenic outing!

It's lovely to see the city from the water and there was a commentary in French running continuously. I tried to follow as I am in Toulouse as a French language student, but it was a bit fast for me at times. I liked that the cruise included both the river and the Brienne Canal. It's a lovely activity to plan into your afternoon, and the canal in particular was very peaceful and pretty.

Excellent value boat trip which was both relaxing and informative. We took the 60 minute trip. The English text translation of the French commentary was really easy to set up with the QR code and follow along. If you are in Toulouse for a few days I especially recommend doing it early in your trip as it will also give you ideas for visits and info for looking around (we did ours on our last afternoon and now have more places to go to when we hopefully return!)

A wonderful one hour boat ride. Particularly the Canal du midi part. Pity no English in the commentary or headphones. Our friends enjoyed it too.

A wonderful way to spend a sweltering hot day in Toulouse….drifting along under the massive Plane trees lining the Brienne canal.

An enjoyable way to pass an hour cruising the canal & the Garonne. Guide is in French but you can access translations in English & Spanish.

We wanted to get out on the water and this was just the right amount of time - one hour. We saw a taste of the tree- lined canal system and also the Garonne. It was an inexpensive way to have a good experience!

Terrible organization of assembling tours. You buy everything online before with all data, but no people to help you upon arrival and it’s a total mess when you come there - lines, what, why, where, especially if you come with kids. We bought a tour on assembling airbus 350 for today. we were on time (30 mins before) and registered. They told us to wait in the corner with badges and someone will call us and take us. We waited. We were 6 people and nobody of us noticed that the group left, we were not aware. After 15 minutes of waiting we asked what’s going on and they said that the group left and we can come another day. And we came from Barcelona for this visit. And it was also 10 people more who couldn’t come as well as us and having „badges“. The guide left „although he called for us“. The stuff was rude and unhappy that we were angry. We got a free entrance to museum which is not worth to drive from Barcelona. Please, make sure people are collected for the services they had paid for.

Extremely disappointing tour - 90% of the tour is spent sat on the bus. The only time off the bus is to one of the many final assembly lines, the viewing gallery is at the end of a large factory three stories up - In the distance was a nearly complete aircraft. More to see from an airport lounge. two plus hours wasted not including travel time 😬 - don’t waste your time or money.

Amazing facility. Lovely assembly line for the A380. An institution for the Aviation industry. Privileged to visit once. However the A380 is facing declining demand. And the Sept 2017 incident of an engine "dropping off" mid Air questions the reliability.

These pictures were taken at the museum, taking pictures at the factory were not allowed. If you wish to visit, you need to purchase the tickets ahead of time, as they only open few days in the week, the museum tickets are separate, and they can be purchased there.

Tour was good. Their website said we could not leave our luggage there but after all the hassle of finding a place to leave it we then found out the we could have taken it

1:45hr tour where you get to get off the bus once and get stuffed into a small observation deck with 40 other people for 15 minutes while the "English-speaking" guide mumbled facts about the planes? Never ahain. The 5-minute video from Minute Physics about airbus is worth more than the 16€ they charge for this. A complete disappointment.

Much better than Boeing.

A lovely escape from the bustling city, it feels a million miles away! Luscious plants including large trees, greenery, and flowers. There are interesting statues and a fountain. Perfect for a little break. Include it on your path if you can!

The expressions of the wolf and dog tell quite a story, it's worth walking around the to get the full tragic story

Grand Rond in Toulouse is a hidden gem in the heart of the city. The view here is simply breathtaking, with lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and a serene connection to nature that's hard to find elsewhere. The peaceful vibes make it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether you're looking for a relaxing stroll or a place to unwind, Grand Rond won't disappoint. Highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone seeking a tranquil oasis in Toulouse.

A lovely afternoon reading in the Park!

The park is beautiful, well-kept and diverse in vegetation. It is divided into two parts. It is big, it offers rest on the grass with family and friends, it offers many entertainment for children. This place is like Eden, where you can spend the whole day relaxing and enjoying nature in the middle of the city. I love this place as well as I recommend it!

A beautiful, small, formal park in the centre of a huge roundabout! It is accessed by bridges which have plants all along them. It is linked to the Jardin Royale and the Jardin des Plantes. Visiting all three is lovely way to spend an hour. There is a large fountain in the middle, a bandstand and lots of statues. It’s a great place to walk or sit and watch people going by.

A big park connecting all the other green spaces around. It’s spacious for kids to play around and dogs to run around. If you prefer to have a piece of quietness, it’s better to go to Jardin Royal just next to it. Even though there are just one street away, the atmosphere is different. Grand Rond is definitely more for family and community activities.
