Culture in

Toulouse

Need to relax? The Théâtre du Capitole, the Bikini, the Zénith Toulouse Métropole and the Bijou are all must-see venues when you go out in Toulouse. For bon vivants, there are plenty of cultural activities that allow you to enjoy the concert or show of your favourite actor or singer with a warm audience. Many artists from La Ville Rose, such as Bigflo, have emerged and have looked at life through rose tinted glasses thanks to their talent. These young rappers have, for example, been able to share their musical generosity in the Toulouse Stadium, and they have been able to export the relaxed state of mind of the Toulouse quarter of an hour all over France and abroad. You will enjoy a lot in this cosy atmosphere thanks to a local and very varied cultural offer (music, cinema, circus, theatre, etc.) just like this cosmopolitan city.

Separated by various bridges (Saint-Pierre, Pont-Neuf, Saint-Michel), you have several lively neighbourhoods located along the Garonne: Arnaud-Bernard with the Place Saint-Pierre, Saint-Cyprien and Saint-Michel. You can go from bar to bar with a unique atmosphere in the afternoon and the evening. Toulouse is a city that moves as much as a rugby ball at the Stade Toulousain. The Club Des Supporters Le Rouge & Noir is an illustration of this, it is a bar for oval ball fans or for people looking for a warm atmosphere where the Stade Toulousain takes pride of place. How to visit the land of rugby without going to Chez Tonton? This is one of Toulouse's festive institutions where you can enjoy the friendly and youthful atmosphere on Place Saint-Pierre. It's a great place to hang out on the terrace with your friends or family.

Between Bordeaux and Montpellier, Toulouse is not far from Spain and therefore has strong Spanish influences. This mix benefits the pink city and has given it a more Spanish identity, which can be felt at the cultural activities. The climate is very pleasant throughout the year, so all the weather conditions are reunited for a memorable cultural experience. La Ville Rose gives importance to street art, there is a whole culture around urban art. For example, the 100% graffiti festival Open Summer and the setting up of a graffiti wall in the heart of the Zénith Toulouse Métropole hall as well as an open-air gallery with numerous frescoes all over the city. It is full of small and large cultural events, each as entertaining as the next, including the Río Loco festival, the Toulouse Flamenco Festival, the Graphéine festival...
