Explore the Pink City from our rental agency
On the banks of the Garonne and at the heart of the Occitanie region, Toulouse, also known as the Pink City, is an unmissable destination during vacations in the southwest of France. With its lively squares, markets that invite you to discover the local cuisine, and terraces that light up for the achievements of the Stade Toulousain, exploring Toulouse is a memorable experience.
Celebrated by Nougaro, the Place du Capitole is emblematic of the city and well worth a stop, or more, during your fully equipped motorhome road trip. This will also be an opportunity to visit the magnificent City Hall, arguably one of the most famous in France… and the most beautiful according to Toulouse locals.
Another must-see during your motorhome road trip: the Saint-Sernin Basilica. It's one of the largest Romanesque buildings in the region and is even listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site!
Toulouse along the Garonne and the Canal du Midi
During your van vacation starting from our Toulouse agency, what could be more relaxing than a family stroll along the Canal du Midi? It's pleasant to walk there, if only to cool off under the plane trees that line it.
It's also the perfect spot if you're looking for a peaceful place to enjoy a delicious family picnic. With its paths and numerous green spaces, it's one of Toulouse locals' favorite spots for recreational activities: biking, running, racket sports… or simply taking a nap!
On the Garonne side, the quays of the Place de la Daurade offer one of the city's most beautiful sights: the dome of the Saint-Joseph de la Grave chapel, a must-see during a trip to Toulouse in a rental van. On the opposite bank of the Garonne, explore the Hôtel Dieu-Saint-Jacques, an imposing building that, as expected in the Pink City, is made of... pink bricks!
Escape with the City of Sciences and the Japanese Garden
During your van road trip, a visit to the city of science and space is a must. It's all about travel and discovery, but this time in space and aboard a space shuttle! Halfway between Earth and the edges of the solar system, it's an unforgettable experience for the whole family.
Then, back to Earth with another curiosity to explore during your visit to Toulouse from our rental agency: the magnificent Pierre Baudis Japanese Garden. Close to the city center, it offers a dive into Japanese culture and nature, with its 7000 sqm of green spaces dedicated to botanical varieties from the Far East. Inspiring and incredibly relaxing.
The best destinations from Toulouse
After fully enjoying the charms of the Pink City, it's time to get back in your rental motorhome and explore the region. On your road trip itinerary? Saint-Gaudens and its 11th-century Saint-Pierre collegiate church, a Romanesque style building emblematic of the region.
Next, head to Saint Bertrand de Comminges, an essential stop on the Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle pilgrimage and any worthy trip in the region. North of Toulouse and your motorhome rental service, don't miss the Gargas caves. Nicknamed "the little Lascaux" for the richness of its cave paintings, it's a journey through the ages, meeting our distant ancestors.
Finally, for mountain lovers, head to the Pyrenees and Bagnère de Luchon, a charming spa town.
The most beautiful spots in Occitanie by custom van
Not far from Bagnère de Luchon, a detour through Andorra will offer one of the most beautiful views of your trip in a fitted vehicle with sleeping arrangements. Continue your journey to Les Angles, one of the most famous stations in the Pyrenees. Both in summer and winter, you can enjoy the joys of a ski resort and the many leisure activities and services it offers. Finally, to conclude your custom van trip beautifully, give it a Mediterranean touch with Perpignan and Narbonne. In addition to the sea and sun, it's an opportunity to taste the delicious cuisine of southern France.
Of course, many other routes are possible from our Toulouse motorhome rental agency. Among them, the road trip in the Grand Ouest that we have concocted is one of our customers' favorites. From Bordeaux to Saintes via Biarritz, Bayonne, Cognac, Saint Emilion, it's a journey through vineyards and the green landscapes of the Southwest.
With the comfort of our fitted vehicles, even more distant destinations are within your reach. To Europe's south! In Spain, with the extreme nature of the Bardenas Desert, then the colorful landscapes of Portugal, including the famous Cape St Vincent, the westernmost point of Europe. For this, take advantage of our online booking service and choose the custom van that will take the whole family on the most beautiful of adventures.
