TOULOUSE
Plunge into the heart of 16th-century Toulouse in the company of Paule de Viguier, a wealthy and cultured bourgeois with a legendary aura. Embodied by a qualified guide-lecturer, La Belle Paule will take you from town houses to places of power, talking about commerce, culture and religious decadence.
Back in the 1570s, Paule de Viguier came from a merchant family who had made their fortune trading in pastel, the dye plant used to produce the colour blue. Born at the turn of the century and already well into old age, La Belle Paule, as she came to be known, became an important link in the town’s cultural and artistic life, and will tell you all about her shift from commercial and architectural influence thanks to pastel in her early years to economic and religious turmoil in the second half of the century.
