Toulouse: The Secrets of Violets and Pastel – Private Tour

Discover Toulouse through two symbols of its identity: pastel, which contributed to its wealth in the Renaissance, and the violet, which over time has become an emblem of the Ville Rose.
Discover Toulouse through two emblems that each tell part of its story: the woad and the violet.

On this private walking tour, you will first travel back to the 16th century, when the pastel trade contributed to the prosperity of Toulouse. You will discover how this dye plant contributed to the enrichment of Toulouse merchants and how this period left its mark on the city's heritage.

The tour takes you in the footsteps of this wealth in the historic center, through the mansions and architectural details that bear witness to the golden age of woad.

Then move on to a different era to discover the violet, its history, its cultivation, its uses and the place it holds today in Toulouse's identity.

As you walk through the streets and squares, the two themes connect heritage, commerce, expertise, and local life.
The aim is not to visit a series of monuments, but to understand Toulouse through two symbols that have shaped its history and image.

A private 2-hour walking tour, with a friendly and interactive approach.
