Take time to visit the Musée de Beaux Arts, one of France’s oldest fine arts museums, before heading to the Musée des Augustins. Wander around Toulouse’s centre with its incredibly well preserved 16th Century mansions. Believe it or not, but Toulouse has a staggering 205 sites that are classified French Historic Monuments!
