Toulouse: Toulouse, the pink city

Best period

☀️ Situated in the south-west of France, with a Mediterranean and continental climate, Toulouse can be visited all year round without any problems.

In summer, the climate is hot and dry, although temperatures are often dampened by winds from different directions. Autumn, with its pleasant, sunny climate and light rainfall, is a great way to prolong the summer. Winter is mild and sunny too, with temperatures rarely dipping below zero. There are rainy days, but rarely snow. In spring, the weather is cool with temperatures between 15 and 20°. Compared with winter, rainfall is heavier, but not excessive.

The cheapest period is winter, outside the holidays, but it is also the least favourable from a climatic point of view. The best compromises are the mid-seasons and the first fortnight in June.

Events and festivals

💃 In spring, the Flamenco Festival attracts dancers from all over the world to perform and dance.

In summer there are numerous events such as the Rio Loco Festival or "Les siestes électroniques".

September sees the "September Spring", a free festival featuring shows, exhibitions and events in the city's most symbolic locations. Also not to be missed is the "Festival Occitanie", which highlights the links between Occitan, Mediterranean and Oriental cultures.

Finally, in December, Toulouse lights up and the atmosphere warms up thanks to the lights scattered around the city and the typical Christmas markets in the Place du Capitole.
