Night On The Toulouse Capitole Square

The Capitole Building in Toulouse, in the late evening just after dusk.

 

The Place du Capitole is right at the centre of the Old Town of Toulouse and is home to the town hall and a large plaza that is often full of tourists or demonstrations/festivals of one kind or another.

 

The Capitole is the historical seat of Toulouse’s municipal government and is the biggest building in the city (not counting the big hangers and such at the Airbus base).

 

The pink brickwork of the Capitole building reflects in the sunlight late in the day and in the water on the plaza when it has been raining.

 

Being right in the centre of the city, it’s pretty hard to spend a day when you don’t walk across the square in one direction or another.
