Toulouse Noir Free Tour: Crimes, Legends, and Mysteries
♡ Save
Explore the mysteries and hidden crimes of Toulouse on an unforgettable night tour. Discover dark legends and spine-chilling tales as you wander through the most fascinating corners of the City of Roses.
Would you like to discover the Toulouse you don’t see on postcards?
Toulouse is known as the Pink City. But some of its stories are much darker.
On the Toulouse Noir tour, we’ll explore the historic center to uncover that other side of the city: people persecuted for their beliefs, ancient legends, public executions, crimes that shook Toulouse, and cases where, centuries later, questions still remain unanswered.
Along the way, we’ll encounter heretics, clergymen, the condemned, a dead man who, according to legend, refused to behave like a normal dead person… and several figures who would probably prefer that Toulouse had forgotten their stories.
If you already know the Toulouse of the postcards, come discover the one hidden behind the pink.
Outdoor tour. Approximate duration: 1 hour 30 minutes. Tour in Spanish. Comfortable shoes are recommended. Some stories involve deaths, executions, and real-life crimes.
