Lovely look cathedral. If it wasn't for my persistence I would never have even known it was open to the public. From the front door there is nothing to suggest it was open until I pushed at a door to the side and ventured inside. Sadly, like a lot of these old churches parts of it seemed to be in the need of some TLC, but they don't get the money they need so what can they do. Otherwise there were some really nice features to take in included some really breathtaking stain glass windows. Well with the visit.

Beautiful cathedral, very peaceful. A great place to visit in Toulouse despites the renovations they have going right now, you can still see a vast majority of the cathedral!
My favorite church in this town. Immense, and beautiful. I walked by it on a pub crawl by mistake and fell in love. Great for taking picture both in and around this place
Amazing cathedral in the historic center of the \ville rose\, Toulouse. A catholic - roman edifice, with unknown date of construction, as first traces are from 1071, but then it is believed that it has been renovated! It's just near the Prefecture of Haute Garrone county, which has been installed in the old Episcopal Palace. Beautiful gardens around and a nice neighbouring. Not far away from it, you can find the Augustin Museum, a MUST SEE either!
Arcybishop Isarn built the nave in a Romanesque style in the early 11th century. In the early 13th century, Bishop Foulques began the works of the new nave. The next bishop Bertrand decided to transform the cathedral, he began the construction of the new choir by creating 15 radiating pentagonal chapels. Next modification were in 15th century. Arcybishop Pierre paved the way for the large flamboyant portal and opened the baptismal font to the left. So today this cathedral has different styles.
Beautiful place with calm surroundings. Do check the cathedral for various saints and divine feeling. Best time to visit would be morning or evening.
A cathedral in Toulouse located very close to the city center. It is quite and peaceful. The organ in the cathedral is amazing and they have shows occasionally. Usually it is less crowded in the afternoon in the weekends. Definitely recommended if you are visiting the beautiful city of Toulouse.
Beautiful cathedral, with a zig and a zag inside, graced with a fascinating diagonally positioned archway, that somehow works. Large repurposed altar to Jeanne d'Arc whose statue actually depicts her with short hair and more of a warrior than a helpless girl (not always the case). A wonderful example of overlapping periods of architecture and repairs/refurbishment. I appreciated the info panels about the different periods of construction and how it ended up with that strange but beautiful arch.
