Make It a Vacation

Before You Arrive

We recommend arriving in Toulouse between Friday and Sunday before the wedding. This gives you plenty of time to explore the city, adjust to the time change, and settle in before heading to the château on Monday.

Before the Wedding

Spend a few days discovering everything Toulouse has to offer. Some of our favorite things to do include:

• Explore Place du Capitole
• Visit the Basilique Saint-Sernin
• Walk along the Garonne River
• Browse Marché Victor Hugo
• Visit Cité de l'Espace
• Enjoy local wine bars and cafés
• Wander the charming streets of the historic city center
