Toulouse by Night

The city of Toulouse (31 Haut-Garonne, Occitanie) has embarked on an ambitious programme to turn itself into a City of Light. Famous for the exceptional beauty of its red orange light during the day, the capital of Midi-Pyrenees is said to be even prettier when night closes in. Being finely chiselled with a wealth of details, the night-time urban landscape of Toulouse does have something special. A specialist lighting-designer has been developing the plan for 2 years now and as a result numerous city locations are now illuminated – including the Médiathèque José Cabanis; Saint-Sernin Basilica; Musée Saint-Raymond; the banks of the Garonne, the Abbatoirs Modern & Contemporary Art Centre, la Halle aux Grains, la place du Capitole, la place Saint-Georges.
