Everyone has their own pace !
Whether walking alone or in a group, taking in the sights, and seeing the city from a new perspective, the Toulouse Student Tour is all about exploring !
To suit all preferences, we offer two route options:
- The "Discovery" Route: A non-stop scenic tour through the city’s iconic landmarks (squares, bridges, the Daurade quays, etc.).
- The "Cultural" Route: A journey with stops at cultural institutions (cinemas, museums, libraries) or public artworks, with guided presentations at each stop.
What the routes have in common :
- A playful and interactive spirit
- A free mobile app, Bougéo, initially developed by students from Toulouse Capitole University
- A shared starting and ending point at "la Cité internationale Université de Toulouse"
- A snack and social moment at the end of the afternoon
This event is supported by the Cultural Space of Toulouse Capitole University and the Student Life Service of the Community of Universities and Establishments of Toulouse.
