Place du Capitole: the beating heart of Toulouse
Occitanie boasts so many treasures in southern France that it’s hard to know where to begin.
Its vibrant capital Toulouse serves as the perfect base, less than a two-hour flight from Ireland and nicknamed ‘la Ville Rose’. Arty Albi is home to the Toulouse-Lautrec museum, while Carcassonne is like something from a fairytale. Elsewhere, you can meander through pretty villages with an Armagnac in hand, try the famous cassoulet and learn about famous figure D’Artagnan.
There’s a stunning coastline to explore – and the majestic Pyrenees beckon for your ski adventures. Life truly appeals to the senses in Occitanie.
