Overview

Immerse yourself in the heart of 16th century Toulouse, guided by Belle Paule, the city’s iconic and legendary figure. In period costume, your Graduate Speaker Guide plays Paule de Viguier and takes you into a fascinating era of prosperity, refinement and religious turmoil.

Browse the Capitole district, between mansions, places of power and testimonies of the wealth of the great families of Toulouse. Belle Paule tells you about the golden age of pastel, which made the city’s fortune, but also the life of the bourgeoisie, the arts, commerce and the economic and religious upheavals that marked the second half of the century.

Through historical anecdotes, discover Toulouse differently on an immersive 1h45 tour, in small group, in French.
