Things to do Harry's Free Tour of Toulouse
So, you understand English, like the "Free Tour" format and are in Toulouse, most likely on Vacation. You'll be looking for me then! ;)
I've lived here 20 years now and have spent quite a lot of that time trying to write an Historical Fiction of this city. What does that mean for you? It means I've studied its History with a passion and have always regarded its Historical events through the lens of "How could this event best be told in narrative form?" Which is what I do. I tell stories. True stories of things that actually happened here in Toulouse. But stories, nevertheless.
On this Tour you will see…
Place du Capitole
Rue Saint Rome
Hotel Assezat
Pont Neuf
La Daurade and la Basilique
Les Jacobins
Rue de Taur
La Basilica St Sernin
And, although the History stuff does tend to wander I try to make its telling as linear as possible.
I will cover…
Medieval Toulouse
The Cathars
The Albigensian Crusade
The Inquisition
The Canal du Midi
The Revolution in Toulouse
The Great Flood of 1875
and a lot more…
I won't leave you ignorant either as to where is best to eat and drink in town and what other things there are to do.
I look forward to seeing you on the Tour.
Included
