Occitan Cities of Art and good living
An exceptionally rich architectural and artistic heritage awaits you!
A land of hospitality, Occitania has welcomed many exiles over the centuries and their influences have blended harmoniously to create this much appreciated gentle way of life. Come and enjoy!
Toulouse, the capital of Occitania is vibrant and warm, blooming between the Garonne and the Canal du Midi, with its characteristic brickwork ranging from pink to orange, shaped by 2,000 years of history…
Cultural diversity has evolved over time, from the Basilica of Saint-Sernin to the Musée des Abattoirs, from the Cité de l’Espace to the Jacobins convent or the brand new Halle de la Machine.
Toulouse’s noble neighbours are not to be outdone…
It will be Albi’s turn to fascinate and surprise you. This episcopal city, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010, represents no less than twenty centuries of history and heritage, including the unforgettable Sainte-Cécile Cathedral and the Palais de la Berbie, home to the famous Toulouse-Lautrec museum.
You will then fall under the spell of Cordes sur Ciel, this city of art, history, architecture and crafts, which literally rises to the sky. It is by walking through its medieval streets, admiring its houses with sculpted facades and tasting the local flavours, that you will fully appreciate this exceptional site.
Montauban, on the banks of the Tarn, also boasts beautiful brick facades, and proudly honours its famous inhabitants such as Olympe de Gouges, as well as Ingres and Bourdelle, with the museum dedicated to them. Occitan cities of art.
