Hi, I’m Shima, and what I adore most about Toulouse are its colors - those warm pinkish bricks that make the city glow with charm and coziness. With a background in art and tourism, I have a special appreciation for Toulouse’s architecture and artistic heritage, and I love sharing the stories that bring its landmarks to life. You’ll often find me strolling through the city center, exploring museums, or venturing into the surrounding region like Foix to soak up its history and landscapes. I’m also fascinated by local cultures and everyday lifestyles, which gives me a deeper way of experiencing the city. Whether you want to admire Toulouse’s unique beauty, uncover hidden corners, or simply enjoy its creative atmosphere, I’d be delighted to show you why this “Pink City” is so inspiring to me.
