I was in Toulouse this week, and it sure looked good. I took these pictures with my phone on Wednesday. In Paris that day they had only 18C (64F), with gray skies and rain all day. In Toulouse the same day we had 30C (86F), and pure blue skies as you can see. The city is as beautiful as ever. I didn't know the existence of that park which they created next to the 15th-century city walls.
They have transformed the former slaughterhouses into a modern art museum. The dome behind is that of Toulouse's medieval hospital. Catching the real color of Toulouse's bricks with a camera is super hard. In this picture, to the right, you have what's closest to the true color of Toulouse's bricks. When you see them with your own eyes, the 15th-century city walls have the same color as the brick to the right of the picture below (with my camera, the two pictures above, they look pale, which they are not in reality).
When I left Toulouse that day, I took this picture from the hilly north-eastern suburbs of the city, shortly after sunset. Downtown Toulouse is beyond the hills, and you can see the mighty Pyrénées mountains in the background (about 65 miles from where I stood as the crow flies). Those north-eastern suburbs are upper-middle-class, very beautiful, and booming (year after year, there are more and more houses on the hills).
This one will please one of us on here (New Brisavoine who's from over there if I remember well).
