Toulouse has written a legend with red bricks, waiting for you to read it.

💕Toulouse | A complete guide to the treasure city in southern France💕 Hello everyone 👋, today I must recommend to you a super charming city in the south of France - Toulouse✨. 🎵 French singer Claude Nougaro compared the Saint-Sernin Church at night to coral flowers watered by the sun in "Toulouse", which directly brought the romantic atmosphere to the fullest😍. In addition, Toulouse buildings are mostly made of red bricks, which is very different from other places in France. The pink brick buildings on the main street are worthy of being called the "City of Roses"🌹. 🏰Must-visit place👇 📍The heart of the ancient city——Town Hall Square This is the core area of ​​Toulouse. The surrounding red buildings are super beautiful and perfect for taking photos. You can take great photos no matter how you take them. It takes about an hour to walk around and you can immerse yourself in the local customs. 📍Important landmark-Saint-Sernin Church This is one of the largest existing Romanesque churches in Europe. It was built in the 11th century and is a landmark of Toulouse. It has a magnificent appearance, thick walls and round arches. When you walk inside, you will be overwhelmed by the exquisite religious murals, sculptures and other decorations, which give you a sense of solemnity. 📍Garonne River——Hôtel d'Assezat It is very pleasant to stroll along the Garonne River, enjoy the breeze, see the beautiful riverside scenery, and then go to the mansion to feel the historical charm. 📍University city——Toulouse University Full of youthful vitality, you can experience a different academic atmosphere, and maybe even make friends with top students from all over the world 😎. 📍Space City——Airbus Group A must for aviation fans! Learn about cutting-edge aerospace technology and witness mankind’s great journey in pursuit of its dream of flying in the blue sky. Oh, and Toulouse is also known as the "City of Violets". Legend has it that violets were brought by an Italian soldier as a gift to his lover, and since then, he has been connected with this city. 🕌Featured churches: Jacobin Church⛪: the pinnacle of Gothic architecture👏! There are 22 radial ribs extending from the top of the central column, which looks like a palm tree and is super gorgeous. The single-slope colonnade is simple and powerful, and the flat roof and thick walls are very characteristic of southern France. Saint-Etienne Cathedral: A fusion of Romanesque and Gothic styles, it was expanded and rebuilt many times from the 11th to the 17th century. Its exterior looks like two churches spliced ​​together, and its asymmetry is very unique. 🎫Toulouse Museum: Walk 50m from the entrance of the Botanical Garden on the right side, 9€ for adults/5€ for students, free on the first Sunday of every month🆓. 🌟In short, Toulouse has both a profound historical and cultural heritage and unique architectural charm. Come and check it out. Remember to bring your camera and take lots of beautiful photos🤳. Finally, it is a good idea to start your stroll through the city from the Calmes district in the old town of Toulouse, which is very popular with locals 😃.
