Toulouse City Guide - Shopping



The main shopping street in Toulouse is rue Saint Rome. You can find chic boutiques and exclusive labels on rue de la Pomme, while more alternative fashion is on offer on the rue du Taur. Place Occitane also has over 50 boutiques.

Toulouse boasts some 30 markets, which are great places to stock up on the city’s traditional foods and specialities. The best of the lot is the famous marché Victor Hugo, halles Victor Hugo, the temple of Toulousain gastronomy and the place to go for cheese, fish, meats, foie gras and the famous Toulouse sausages.

A truly unique shop, and a bit of an institution in Toulouse, La Maison de la Violette is a barge moored opposite Gare Matabiau. It sells everything and anything made from
violet (Toulouse’s flower) - from violet sweets and violet tea to violet soap and violet candles.

Remember that most shops are closed on Sunday in France (except hypermarkets).
