Having extensively and frequently visited France in my university years made me feel that I am done with what's there to see in France. Somehow Toulouse or other similar university towns didn't feature on my interests. It was only years later and on a family holiday we ventured into this part of France. With little or no expectations we relied on good accomodations, food and few activities to help fuel this family off time. But Toulouse turned out to be a surprisingly good holiday destination. It has so much to offer. While being a very friendly and lovely city. During our 4 comfortable nights in Toulouse. Not only did we explore what's in the city, like Sain sernin's basilica, the capitol palace, bellow tower, the pedestrian street and my new favourite activity in France, the canal du midi. But Toulouse also offered us excellent day trips to nearby places Albi and carcassone. It's a fantastic city for walking around too. So if you haven't tried Toulouse yet. Make sure you include it on your next French holidays. #myhiddengems #toulouse #100waysoftravel #france #summerdestinations #europe #canals

A unique cathedral
While tolouse has several churches and cathedral. Saint Sernin's basilique was the most unique of them all. The architecture is eye catching and in my case I hadn't seen something similar before. When we visited there was a mass going on with a boys choir in attendance too. The atmosphere was very beautiful. Not only the chapel is well maintained on the outside. It has very beautiful interiors. The stained glass that never fails to draw attention is stunning. It is places like this basilica that make for such a rich cultural and heritage expericne when you holiday in Tulouse. This comes recommended. #myhiddengems #france #100waysoftravel #toulouse #summerdestinations #europe

Basilica of Saint-Sernin in Toulouse | A representative of the pilgrimage church
Basilica Saint-Sernin is located in Toulouse, France, built alongside the road to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, a major pilgrimage center. It was constructed between 1080 and 1120 AD and is the largest preserved Romanesque church in Europe. From the time it was built, it provided accommodation for pilgrims, and its size reflects how passionate Europe was about pilgrimage at that time . ❤️Recommended reason: The power of faith In the 3rd century, Saint Saturninus, the first bishop of Toulouse, was tied to a bull and dragged down the steps to his death for refusing to worship Roman idols. In the 5th century, Christians, now legalized, found his tomb outside the walls of Toulouse, reburied his remains, and built a chanting house around it. 📍Detailed address: Toulouse City Hall Square 💰Average cost: Free admission
