Letting loose in Toulouse! (France’s Most Underrated City?)
We spent the weekend exploring Toulouse, a city that often gets overlooked in favour of Paris or the French Riviera, but it quickly surprised us in all the right ways!
With the help of Visit Toulouse, we followed an itinerary designed to show a more local, modern side of the city. From creative food halls and busy markets to space exploration and giant mechanical art, this day turned into one of the most unexpected city experiences we’ve had in France.
We start at Halles de la Cartoucherie, a huge cultural and food space where locals actually spend time, before heading to Cité de l’Espace, where Toulouse’s deep connection to aerospace suddenly makes a lot of sense.
Back in the city centre, we take a food-focused wander around Marché Victor Hugo, tasting classic dishes and getting a feel for everyday life in Toulouse. We finish off at Halle de la Machine, home to some of the most impressive and unusual mechanical creations we’ve ever seen.
Rather than trying to “see everything,” this video is about what it actually feels like to explore Toulouse for a weekend. We experienced the food, the creativity, the culture, and the little surprises that make a place memorable.
If you’re planning a trip to southern France, or you’re curious about lesser-known French cities, we hope this gives you a genuine sense of why Toulouse deserves a spot on your itinerary.

Amazing video of Toulouse! It looks like you ate very well and visited some absolutely stunning places. Living the dream!✨🍷🍽️
That was vey cool to see 😎
We need to go back and to that dinner at Halle de las Machines ❤
You guys are very joyful and friendly and open minded. Don't pay too much attention to our French behavior we don't express feeling so outgoingly. Just a "Bonjour, ça va ? " will make people friendly.
Very nice video, it's always funny to see your own city in a VLOG, I literally live five minutes from the machine hall, glad you liked Toulouse, it's very underrated because it doesn't have as prestigious a history as other French cities but it has nothing to envy them, especially the big city in the south of France and that's coming from a native of Marseille.
