Toulouse, the capital of France's southern Occitanie province, is bisected by the Garonne River and is located close to the Spanish border. Due to the terra-cotta bricks used in many of the buildings, it is known as La Ville Rose, The Pink City. Its Canal du Midi, built in the 17th century, connects the Garonne to the Mediterranean Sea and may be navigated by boat, bike or foot.

Toulouse is renowned for its parks and gardens. The Jardin Japonais Pierre Baudis is a beautiful Japanese garden where you and your companion may relax and take in all the greenery and surrounding woodlands. Couples who wish to take a casual stroll with some stunning views will love walking along the banks of the historic Garonne River. Since the river runs through the city, there's a good combination of natural characteristics and spectacular urban structures. Saint-Georges Square is another wonderful site that combines an urban landscape and lush green spaces. There are various eateries on the plaza where you can grab a quick bite to eat too if you get hungry while exploring.
