At Paulette, we're delighted to offer you a unique experience in discovering Toulouse at your own pace, with our flexible rental options and low rates starting at 4 hours! To help you discover Toulouse by bike, we're now offering a guide to the Pink City by bike.
A morning of history and nature
Start your day by picking up your bike at our branch when it opens at 9:30 am. The Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, will be your first port of call, as it's already waiting for you on the other side of the boulevard. Take a leisurely pedal and admire the picturesque scenery along this historic waterway.
Next, head to the Marché Victor Hugo for a taste of the local atmosphere. Do some shopping for a picnic, then, after exploring the market, head for the Basilique Saint-Sernin, a jewel of Romanesque architecture. Finally, round off your morning with a relaxing picnic at the Jardin des Plantes.
A cultural afternoon
After a busy morning, the afternoon is reserved for a visit to the Carmes district, renowned for its independent boutiques, charming alleyways and daily market. On the way, stop off at Pont Neuf for a panoramic view of the Garonne River.
The afternoon is also the ideal time to discover the Musée des Augustins, one of the oldest museums in France. Housed in a former convent, the museum boasts a vast collection of art, including Gothic sculptures and paintings by modern masters. Leave your bikes at the entrance with our bike locks and enjoy your visit.
A quiet evening
In the late afternoon, pick up your bike and head for the Jacobins Convent to discover its impressive architecture and peaceful cloister. Pedal on to Place du Capitole, the heart of downtown Toulouse. Leave your bike nearby and enjoy a stroll around the square, admiring the Hôtel de Ville and Théâtre du Capitole. Don't hesitate to take a refreshing break in one of the cafés under the arcades.
End your day with a leisurely bike ride along the banks of the Garonne to enjoy the city lights reflected on the water.
