Usually inaccessible to the public, two enormous Toulouse construction sites are exceptionally opening their doors on dates already defined and thus reveal little-known aspects of local history and heritage. Exceptional openings which fall within the framework of the new “Forbidden to the public” visits.
Two places that are usually closed to discover exclusively
With this new format of visits in restricted groups and by reservation only, all Toulouse residents and other curious people can discover places currently inaccessible (for work, renovation, etc.) or usually closed. The opportunity to enter construction sites closed to the public and to interact, during the guided tour, with professionals present in the field.
Organized by the Espace Patrimoine in partnership with the archeology unit of Toulouse Métropole and Letellier architects, these excursions are therefore 100% immersive, original, free and privileged since they have a deadline!
