La Terrasse des Capitouls

Overlooking the rooftops of Toulouse, this exceptional studio apartment combines the prestige of Renaissance heritage with resolutely contemporary comfort. Imagine enjoying a barbecue on your private terrace, with the church steeples, red tiles, and Occitan sky as your backdrop. Located in the Croix-Baragnon Tower of the Hôtel de Bonnefoy, Toulouse's first private mansion, this spacious studio embodies the elegance of a rare and vibrant heritage. Acquired in 1957 by the owner's father—a recipient of the Medal of the Toulousains of Toulouse—this exceptional property offers a privileged immersion into the Toulouse Renaissance. On the 4th floor of the tower, this bright studio apartment with breathtaking views of the city blends authenticity and modernity: century-old beams, exposed brickwork, a comfortable 160cm bed, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a contemporary bathroom with a multi-jet shower and private toilet. Its key feature? An intimate, sunny terrace with a barbecue, perched above the historic Carmes district, is ideal for breakfast with panoramic views of the church steeples or an evening of grilling under the stars. From your pied-à-terre in the heart of the historic center, explore a city brimming with art, history, and gastronomy: just a 3-minute walk away, Place Saint-Georges will charm you with its lively terraces. In 5 minutes, you can reach Place du Capitole, a true emblem of the city. The Basilica of Saint-Sernin, a jewel of Romanesque art, is a 12-minute walk away. For space enthusiasts, the Cité de l'Espace (Space City) is only a 20-minute drive. Craving nature? Stroll along the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, less than 10 minutes away by bike.
