About this tour
Explore Toulouse's architectural and social history on your own terms with this app-based walking tour covering 2–4 hours. Discover how the city earned its Pink City nickname through pastel brick and Renaissance wealth, from Roman gold legends to the merchant dynasties who built mansions that shaped European law. Navigate via your phone with audio narration, offline maps, and written notes—pause whenever you like for food, churches, or simply to breathe in the squares.

What to expect
This is a mobile-guided experience, not a group tour. Download the app before you arrive and walk Toulouse's central quarters following the audio narration, written descriptions, and in-app map. Each stop is photographed and pinpointed, so navigation is straightforward without needing internet once offline mode is active. You'll hear stories about buildings, squares, and the people who shaped them—then decide whether to linger for 20 minutes or move on in five. Expect to cover roughly 4–5 km on flat, paved streets suitable for all fitness levels. Bring comfortable shoes and earphones (not provided).
