No visit to Toulouse is complete without getting acquainted with hearty southern French cuisine. The city is home to the famous cassoulet, a nourishing meat and bean stew, confit de canard, a rich duck dish, and saucisse de Toulouse, a trademarked sausage made with the same recipe since the 18th century. Once you’ve eaten your way through the regional flavours, wander round the Saint-Cyprien and Arnaud Bernard neighbourhoods to discover the city’s vibrant street art scene. Then visit Les Abattoirs, a museum housed in an old slaughterhouse, which showcases modern and contemporary art, including works by Picasso and Kandinsky. The city is also the centre of France’s aerospace industry, so a trip to the Cite de l'Espace is a must. This interactive museum features exhibits on space exploration, astronomy and the universe.
