Two famous monuments

€ 114

Description of the visit

You may choose two of the following sites to visit by foot in a 90 minute walk :

• The Capitole, which is the the City Hall : the Dungeon, the Henry the 4^th courtyard, and the Capitole square, and (if it is open on the day of the visit) a look at the famous reception halls of the Capitole ( the Henry Martin Room, the Room of the Illustrated Ones).
• The St Sernin Basilica – the largest Romanesque church of France, a famous pilgrimage stop on the way to St Jacques of Compostelle
• The Jacobins Church : it is a gem of Southern Gothic architecture of the 13^th century and houses the remains of St Thomas d’Aquinas. It is also famous for its architectural details such as the famous “palmtree” column.

Options

You may choose to visit the Crypt of St Sernin church for an additional fee of 1 euro per person or the Cloisters of the Jacobins for an additional fee of 1.5 euros per person. (These fees are waived the first Sunday of each month). It is best to decide ahead of time so that the guide might plan the timing for everything accordingly.

The meeting place with the guide

For each visit, we will decide together with you, and based on your needs, where the best place would be to begin the visit: the guide can either wait for or join up with the group.

• At the group’s hotel if it is in the city  center
• At a restaurant if it is in the city center
• In front of the Matabiau train station if a sightseeing coach tour of the city is on the program
• In the city center at a location that is practical for the group.

Number of guides

The rates that we indicate are for a sole guide. If you wish, you may choose to have two or three guides in order to create smaller groups. The rate for the visit would then be multiplied by the number of groups you have planned on.

Please note that for the visits of Toulouse which are entirely by foot, we limit the number of participants to 50 for each guide retained. For more than 50 people, a second guide is necessary.

Our rates

The rates indicated for each visit are valid all year, including Sunday and most official holidays.

 There are only three dates that require a double rate: New Year’s Day, the first of May and the 25^th of December.
