TOULOUSE
This tour takes you back to the heart of the modern era, when Toulouse, like many other European cities, was hit by plague epidemics. You’ll discover how people tried to protect themselves with the means at their disposal: isolation, fumigation, potions and the famous doctors’ beak masks.
This tour reveals the most surprising – and often ineffective – remedies used to ward off the disease. A special focus is placed on medicinal plants, all renowned for their virtues at the time. Among the curiosities discussed is the famous vinegar of the four thieves, supposed to protect against evil.
It’s a short, fun and instructive way to broaden your general knowledge while rediscovering Toulouse’s health history from an original angle.
