I liked the crypt which is easy to walk down to. The level of detail is great. Seems like a must see if in Toulouse.Written 30 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NchbexNorwich, UK40 contributionsEnjoyable experience despite it all being in French. We took earphones as recommended but the WiFi is intermittent. 6 yr old enjoyed the earthquake tremor board part. Took us a couple of hours to get around the museum and the botanical gardens and its scent boxes.Written 14 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Renato D4 contributionsThe museum is easy to visit. You can see everything in less than an hour. Yet you get to learn and get educated of the richness of culture and traditions in France specially Toulouse. I like the exhibit re opera, how it started there and how they made the costumes and the stage.Written 21 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LostInTimePittsburgh, PA22,411 contributionsThis church is impressive from the outside. It looks huge. Inside probably due to its history of not being a church for over 100 years it is less impressive. It is still huge and it’s hard to understand how something this big was built so long ago.Written 30 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Helen M4 contributionsThis was a fabulous experience! We've been wanting to visit for four years, but they've been 'doing it up', and then Covid as well. The collection of 30 Pierre Bonnard paintings were exceptional, and that is what we primarily went to see. I can fully recommend this to anyone with an interest in a wide variety of art through the ages.Written 7 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Terry MHamilton, Canada4,897 contributionsIt seems to stretch beyond its 135m length. Its pink bricks reflect neoclassicism, dating from 1750. The building commands the Place du Capitole area, now reserved for pedestrians. In additon to being the city hall, it also houses an archestra and an opera company.Written 15 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ANGELO VMilan, Italy4,575 contributionsThe Church of the Jacobins is now deconsecrated church. It is a large brick building whose construction started in 1230, and whose architecture influenced the development of the Southern French Gothic style.
It is a museum including the church (1229-1350), the refectory (1303), the cloister (1251-1319), the chapel of St. Antonin (1335-1341) and the chapter house (1299-1301).
Under the altar in the church, the relics of St. Thomas Aquinas are contained in a shrine.
There is also a small museum, with sacred books, vestments.
During my visit (April 2024) the refectory was hosting a temporary exhibition about the Cathars.Written 28 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Downside was that not every installation had a host and depending on the time you could not experience all experiments.Written 27 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Roadtripmummy57 contributionsTook the teen here for her birthday. Really interesting cathar exhibit and the ticket also includes the Jacoubin museum. There were interactive historical experiences which she really enjoyed. The troubadour guided her to make her own historical song.Written 30 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ANGELO VMilan, Italy4,575 contributionsSt. Stephen Cathedral in Toulouse was built above an 11th century church, itself above a 3rd century church. Works for the current building started in the 13th century, and continued in the following centuries, until a fire destroyed it in 1609, so renovations were started.
After the French revolution it was converted into a Temple of Reason and several parts were destroyed, until it was returned to the Church in 1802.
Further damages were caused by a hurricane in 1808, and by a nearby explosion in 1816.
In 1850 a full scale renovation was started, to restore the church to its former Gothic style. Today it's a mix of styles, that make this church unique and beautiful, even if it still has a feeling of "unfinished".Written 28 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It contains a remarkable set of murals by Jean-Pierre Rivalz and paintings by Jean-Baptiste Despax. It is the only convent building that was not destroyed during the French Revolution.Written 28 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Julia @Scrumptious SolentSouthampton, UK4,332 contributionsGreat market selling a wide range of food, from regional cheeses and breads to pre-prepared meals and sweet treats. Not attractive from the outside as a very 70’s looking building above a car park, but the produce is stunning and very reasonably priced.
There are restaurants on the second floor but they open at midday so no use visiting for coffee and cake!
A 15 minute walk from the train station on the way into Toulouse centre.Written 6 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
