Known as La Ville Rose on account of its pink-coloured buildings, Toulouse is a striking city home to world-class art, the ubiquitous cassoulet, lively food markets and this comfortable, laidback apartment. The interiors are reminiscent of a Provençal farmhouse – we loved the exposed brick, stucco walls and timber ceiling beams. Wake up feeling refreshed in the cosy bedroom and look forward to spending unhurried mornings curled up on the plump leather sofa with a double espresso in hand.

Should you have some business to attend to, the dedicated desk makes remote working a breeze. When you’re ready to explore your surroundings, you’ll find the Saint Michel Marcel Langer metro station conveniently located a seven-minute walk from your doorstep, connecting you to all four corners of Toulouse. Enjoy a spot of sightseeing in the Capitole – we recommend visiting the Notre Dame de la Daurade basilica and Couvent des Jacobins – before seeking out a brasserie for some slap-up Occitan cuisine.
