Six shops I like in Toulouse.

Updated: Jun 4




  • The chocolatier Pillon:



First, let me present to you one of the oldest chocolatiers in Toulouse: " the Pillon house ".

The store is located in a beautiful Haussmannian building, accros from the Carmes market.

The team at Pillon is very friendly and professional and all of the chocolates and pastries are excellent.

If you ever come to Toulouse, I recommend that you go taste their delicacies. I have already done so myself.

  • The " Ombres Blanches " bookstore:



Now, let me introduce you to a bookstore. A little culture won't hurt us.

The sepcial feature of this bookstore is that it is located right in the city center of Touliouse, and it is rare to see such a large establishment in the center of a city.

If you can't find a book at "Ombres Blanches " , you won't find anywhere else.

It is the temple of reading in Toulouse, generations of Toulousains have frequented this bookstore.


If you come, I recommend that you push the door of this bookstore and why not have a drink while reading a book in the open-air courtyard within the establishment.

  • " Le Caribe " Latin bar:



Now, let's talk about partying. After all, is important in life.

Let me introduce you to the best Latin bar in Toulouse " Le Caribe ".

They make the most delicious mojitos and caipirinhas in the city.


One evening, I recommend that you go have an aperitif on the terrace before having dinner at one of the many restaurants aroud the " Victor Hugo " market.


Two years ago, a new layout was created around the market and there are hardly any cars, while all the bars and restaurants have large terraces.


The atmosphere there is very lively and festive.

  • The Créas Taur:



If you like handicrafts with handmade objects, this is for you.

Indeed, twice a month, the artisans of " Créas Taur ", gather on Rue du Taur, next to the media library.

You can find all the dates on the blog's agenda.


They offer you the chance to discover all of their creations.

At the end of the day, there is an orchestra to ensure the atmosphere.

For my part, I have already bought several things on several occasions.
