This is truly a great experience for those wanting a survey of Toulouse history through its art over the millennia as well as locating its long-lived part in overall French culture and history. The other interesting point is that it is not much younger than the Louvre in Paris. The 12th century, Romanesque capitals derive variously from other famous buildings... More

For anyone interested in Romanesque sculpture, this is a must - and the only reason to divert from Moissac to Toulouse.
