## Visit Garonne

Activities

* * *

#### Take a cruise on this wide river, as it meanders between the leafy parks and historic bridges and buildings of the Pink City.

With its grassy banks and stunning views of the cityscape, the Garonne river is a beating artery running through the heart of Toulouse. Medieval bridges with multiple arches stretch across the river’s width, recalling centuries of the city’s rich history. Stroll along the scenic promenades beside the river in the core of the Old Town quarter.

Lay down a blanket on the grassy knoll of the Prairie des Filtres park on the western bank of the river. Backed by dense thickets of trees, this green space offers an excellent vista of the water and some of the most impressive buildings in the area. Cycle along the paths and find a spot in the shade to read a book. The park is particularly popular with students and young locals, who often participate in strikes and protests here.

Gaze up at the 16th-century Pont-Neuf that overlooks the park and is one of the most iconic bridges in the region. Notice how the structure’s seven arches are asymmetrical, varying in size. Make sure to see other main bridges, including the Pont Saint-Michel, the Pont de la Croix de Pierre and the Pont des Catalans.

Embark on a barge trip on the river. As you move south, you’ll encounter a point where the river forks around a sports-themed island with several stadiums and arenas.

Visit some of the architectural treasures facing the Garonne. Most prominent is the Notre-Dame de la Daurade basilica, with its strong pediment and columns. Enjoy the serene setting of adjacent La Daurade Park. Other riverside highlights are the Moulins du Bazacle mills and Place Saint-Pierre.

The Garonne is one of the main rivers of France, flowing through Toulouse before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean via the Gironde in Bordeaux. The river runs south to north through the central district of Toulouse. Arrive at one of the many metro stations surrounding the city center, including Esquirol, Carmes and Saint-Cyprien-République. Explore the surrounding districts of Capitole de Toulouse and Saint-Étienne.

8.8/10 Excellent! (962 reviews)

The Hotel was in an excellent location, but the reception area was under construction and very unprofessional in appearance. There was no lounge area and the breakfast area was closed, also under construction. We had to have breakfast in a nearby cafe, and the breakfast charge on my bill was extremely overpriced based on what we were served in the cafe. I could have gotten the same breakfast at another cafe for less than half of what the Hotel charged me. The room was updated, small, but relatively comfortable. But there were NO towel racks in the bathroom and no shelves for toiletries, neither inside or outside the shower stall. The best thing about our stay was the discounted parking in the public parking lot across the square. Very disappointed overall!

10/10 Exceptional! (111 reviews)

Absolutely wonderful! We have just spent 7 nights in this hotel. I do not know where to start as everything was just fantastic. The hotel is in an excellent position for trams and trains yet is absolutely peaceful and tranquil. The beds are so comfortable and the staff who are all young people are amazing They work incrediby hard and always with a smile and are just so helpful and kind. The breakfast was so generous and contained everything from bowls of fresh-fruit, various yogurts, cereal, cooked eggs, sausage, bacon, cheese and a huge selection of cakes and gateaux and still more! It was the best breakfast we have ever had. The hotel is delightful and we are so grateful to you for giving us such pleasure. We with never forget our trip. Of course Souki was the star of the hotel. Thank you for everything
