Paris gets the postcards. Lyon gets the food. In this 2025 guide we show you the exact neighborhoods to hit—Vieux Lyon’s traboules, Fourvière views, Les Halles Paul Bocuse for lunch, the Presqu’île at golden hour, and a secret mural walk in Croix-Rousse. Short on time? I’ll give you the 2-day route, when to ride the funicular, and where to book a bouchon—without wasting a minute.
🇫🇷 The French City NO ONE Is Talking About… and why it might be one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. In this Toulouse travel guide, we uncover why “The Pink City” should be at the top of your France bucket list.
We came to Toulouse expecting classic French charm, but we found a city with a dual identity that completely shocked us. Hidden within its ancient pink walls is the heart of Europe’s high-tech future. This is a city of surprising contrasts, from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Canal du Midi to the home of the world’s largest airplane, the Airbus A380.
If you love the in-depth European guides from Rick Steves or the adventurous spirit of channels like Kara and Nate, you’ll love this look at a city that truly flies under the radar. This isn’t just a list of things to do in Toulouse; it’s the story of a city that deserves to be discovered.
