Experience Toulouse
Beyond the Guidebooks

Hi I’m Maël, a local host who loves the vibrant spirit of Toulouse!

One of my favorite things about this city is the way everyone gathers by the river to watch the sunset - it creates such a warm sense of community. I also enjoy the buzz around local events, especially when the rugby team is playing, and I appreciate how safe and peaceful the streets feel, making it easy to enjoy the city at any time. I love meeting friends and deciding on the spot where to eat or explore and I’m particularly fond of the natural history museum and its garden. I know neighborhoods like Carmes, Saint-Michel, the city center, Saint-Cyprien and Cartoucherie inside out, and I’d be thrilled to share Toulouse’s best churches, Roman Gaul history, iconic bridges, and its lively pubs and restaurants with you in a fun, authentic way.

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.

Hi, I’m Quentin!

Toulouse is my home, and what I love most here is the atmosphere - warm, welcoming, and always inviting you to slow down and enjoy life. The red bricks give the city its unique charm, especially under the sun - pure happiness! I’m a foodie at heart (I work in restaurants), so I know all the best spots for amazing yet simple food, good wine, and cosy bars where conversations flow easily. I also love wandering the streets with my headphones on - it always feels like discovering the city for the first time. From hidden viewpoints to bookshops, parks and neighbourhood gems in Saint-Cyprien, Roseraie, Jolimont and more, I know where to find both energy and calm. For me, Toulouse is about sharing – whether it’s food, laughter or stories - and I’d love to share that with you.

Hi, I’m Peter, a proud Toulousain who loves sharing the charm and energy of my city.

What I adore most about Toulouse is its unique mix of tradition and modernity - from the iconic pink-brick buildings to the lively student life - and its proximity to both the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, perfect for a quick escape to nature. I enjoy walking along the Garonne River or the Canal du Midi at sunset and exploring cafés, restaurants, and local markets in the city center. I know Rangueil, my calm residential neighborhood, and the bustling Capitole area like the back of my hand. With my insider knowledge of public transport and the best local food experiences - from cassoulet to fresh market treats I love helping visitors navigate Toulouse and discover its authentic flavors, sights and stories.

Hi, I’m Chloé - born and raised in Toulouse and endlessly inspired by its charm!

What I love most about my city is how eclectic each neighborhood feels - from the elegance of Capitole and Esquirol to the creative buzz of St Cyprien, where I live. Toulouse has this special warmth where you instantly feel at home: people say thank you when they get off the bus, smile at strangers and fill cafés with laughter. You’ll often find me exploring new streets with my dog, admiring the architecture, or sharing a drink with friends while debating life for hours. I’m passionate about uncovering hidden gems, quirky shops, cozy coffee spots and all the little stories that make Toulouse so unique - and I can’t wait to share them with you!
