About the trip

This six-night escorted holiday from G Adventures uses Toulouse as its base for a taste of southern France’s varied charms. The city, often called the Pink City thanks to its terracotta brick buildings, invites gentle exploration along riverside paths and through café-lined squares. An initial orientation walk sets the scene with a local touch.

Day trips extend the experience beyond Toulouse. The medieval hilltop fortress of Carcassonne offers commanding views and fairy-tale walls that remain remarkably intact. Albi, a UNESCO-listed town, features an impressive cathedral and an artistic heritage straightforwardly evident in its streets and museums. Meanwhile, Lourdes provides a quiet contrast, known internationally as a place of pilgrimage and reflection, highlighted by visits to its sanctuary and grotto.

Travelling chiefly by train and on foot, this tour balances included guided walks with free time in Toulouse and Albi, allowing for independent discovery. With the company of a group leader and local guides, practicalities are well handled, leaving time to appreciate the pace and the places along the way.
