Toulouse, pink city.

Toulouse

Our main offices are located in Occitanie and more precisely in Toulouse.
It is a region and a city that we know well and that we love.
We are happy to be able to contribute economically to local development through our furniture rental activity.

An idyllic setting

Toulouse is a city where life is good with its sunny climate and its gastronomy appreciated all over the world.
Among the typical dishes, the Toulouse cassoulet comes first of course.
But we should not forget everything that makes the richness of our region: foie gras, Toulouse sausage or Toulouse-style chicken.
Without forgetting the Toulouse sweets such as fénétra, the pavement of the capitol or even the apple crisp.

A sports city

It is also a very sporty city, rewarded, in 1998 then in 2007, as the most sporting city in France, by the magazine l’Equipe.
It is obviously the capital of Rugby with the now legendary Stade Toulousain which has the most titles in the French and European championships.
But the other major team sports are also honored with clubs operating at the very top of the national rank.
Football is well represented with the TFC (Toulouse football club), basketball with Le Toulouse Metropole Basket and handball with Le Fenix ​​Toulouse Handball.

The pink City

Toulouse is a city with a rich past of more than 2000 years of history.
It is nicknamed “the pink city”. The commonly accepted explanation of this nickname would come from the many buildings built with terracotta bricks of this color.
This is what would have prompted tourism professionals to name it thus at the beginning of the 20th century.
But the theory of the historian Luce Barlangue would tend to demonstrate an older poetic origin.
According to her, the “pink city” is a creation of a group of poets from the ^{Académie des Jeux florals 1} .
Toulouse is then personified as a woman and associated with the color pink, then a symbol of femininity.

¹ The Académie des Jeux florals is a literary society, recognized as a royal academy in 1694 by Louis XIV. It took over from the Consistori del Gay Saber founded in 1323 in Toulouse by seven troubadours, with the protection of the capitouls.

LISE
