TOULOUSE
Come and discover the history and remarkable architecture of Occitanie’s largest railway station, which was recently awarded the prestigious 2024 Prix Versailles. A journey through Toulouse’s railway history. This weekend, the station is opening its doors to you!
During a one-hour guided tour, you’ll uncover the secrets of a historic monument that has been listed since 1984. Following a specially designed itinerary, you’ll discover the exceptional architectural features of this station, which opened in 1905: its monumental façade adorned with 26 medallions representing the destinations served by the Compagnie du Midi, its light-filled concourse with spectacular glass roofs, its historic clocks and its impressive metal canopies. Your tour will help you understand why this €42
million project won over an international jury: scrupulous respect for heritage, the harmonious integration of modernity, improved accessibility and preparation for future mobility challenges.
This tour is suitable for everyone, from architecture enthusiasts to families keen to discover what goes on behind the scenes at a place they may pass through every day without realising its treasures. The 600-metre tour is accessible to people with
reduced mobility thanks to recent improvements.
Enjoy your visit!
